Instructions
Crust
- Preheat the oven to 325°.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, zest, powdered sugar, salt and melted butter in a medium bowl.
- Add the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan and use your fingers or a small measuring cup to really press the crust into the pan. Place in the freezer to chill for 20 minutes.
Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the zest, egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and salt. Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Bake for 50 minutes, until the edge of the custard is set and the middle is still jiggly.
- Cool to room temperature and then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Topping
- Whip the cream and powdered sugar, and optional lime zest, until medium stiff. Top the chilled tart and garnish with lime wedges and lime zest.
