Key Lime Pie
Ingredients
1 1/2
Cups
Graham Cracker Crumbs
6
Tablespoons
Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled
5
Tablespoons
Sugar
1/2
Cups
Freshly Squeezed Key Lime Juice
4 large egg yolks
1
Tablespoons
Grated Key lime Zest, plus more for garnish
1 1/2
Cups
Heavy Cream, chilled
1 Can (14 ounces) Sweetened Condensed Milk
Instructions
Heat oven to 375℉.
Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl; mix well.
Press into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes.
Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
Lower oven to 325℉.
In a medium bowl, gently whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, key lime juice, and zest.
Pour into the prepared, cooled crust.
Return pie to oven, and bake until the center is set but still quivers when the pan is nudged, about 15 to 17 minutes.
Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Shortly before serving, combine cream and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
Whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
Spoon over cooled pie and garnish with zest.
Serve immediately.
