Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

Key Lime Filling:

Fresh Whipped Cream:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add the graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can crush the graham crackers in a sealed bag using a rolling pin.
  • Add the melted butter and sugar and process on low until the butter is evenly incorporated with the crumbs.
  • Add the crumbs to a 9-inch pie plate and use your hands to press the crumbs into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides. Use a large spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to assist in pressing up the sides.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • To a large bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lemon juice, sugar and egg yolks. Use a whisk to stir until everything is combined and smooth.
  • Pour the prepared filling into the pie crust and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges of the filling are set and the center is just beginning to set.
  • Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for an hour before placing the pie in the refrigerator to cool for 8 hours.
  • Add the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip on high until stiff peaks form when you lift the beaters from the cream.
