8

Ingredients

1 cup plus 2 1/2 tbsp. graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup sugar
5 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tbsp. lime zest (from 2 limes)
3 egg yolks
1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup fresh Key lime juice
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 tbsp. confectioners' sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350. Pulse cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a food processor to combine. Press into bottom and sides of a 9" pie pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

2. In a medium bowl, beat lime zest and egg yolks with a hand mixer until pale and thick, 5 minutes. Add milk and beat until thickened, 3-4 minutes more. Add lime juice; mix until smooth. Pour filling into pie crust; bake until filling is just set in the middle, 8-10 minutes. Let cool. In a medium bowl, whisk cream and confectioners' sugar to stiff peaks. Spread whipped cream over top of pie and chill 2-3 hours before serving.
