Total Time: 235 Minutes, Servings: 1 Servings

Ingredients :

FOR THE CRUST:
• 1 ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs (or 1 sleeve graham crackers finely processed)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoon butter, melted
FOR THE FILLING:
• 1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
• 4 large egg yolks
• ½ cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed or bottled)
• 2 teaspoons lime zest
FOR THE TOPPING:
• 1 cup heavy cream, cold
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions :

TO MAKE THE CRUST:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly spraying the inside with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Stir until combined and resembles wet sand. Press mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
• Bake crust for 8-10 minutes, or until golden. Remove crust from oven and let cool completely. (You can stick it in the fridge while you prepare the filling)
To make the filling:
• In another medium bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth and slightly thickened. Add in key lime juice and zest. Whisk mixture for about a minute, until well combined and thickened.
• Pour the filling into the prepared cooled crust and bake for 15 minutes in 350 degrees F. Transfer pie to a cooling rack and let cool completely at room temperature before chilling for at least 3 hours or overnight (preferred) until set.
• When ready to serve, using an electric mixer, whisk the cold heavy cream and sugar (if using) on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
• Top pie with whipped cream.
