Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- Whipped topping (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a pie pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, then allow it to cool.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest until fully combined.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. The longer it chills, the firmer it will be.
- Serve: Once set, slice and serve with whipped topping if desired.
Notes
For a smoother filling, ensure condensed milk is well mixed with lime juice before pouring into the crust. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
