Key Lime Pie Recipe
- 2 cups graham-cracker crumbs
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups sweetened condensed milk, from 2 (14-ounce) cans
- 8 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed Key lime juice
- 2 tablespoons grated Key lime zest
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine graham-cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar in a medium bowl; mix well.
- Press into a 9-1/2-inch deep-dish 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 degrees F. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together condensed milk and egg yolks.
- Add Key lime juice and zest and mix until smooth.
- Pour into the prepared, cooled crust to the top edge.
- Shake to even if needed.
- Return pie to oven, and bake until the center is set but still quivers when the pan is nudged, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Chill before serving, using the freezer to quick-chill for 1015 minutes if in a hurry.
- Garnish with whipped cream (about 2 cups liquid).
