Ingredients
- Granulated Sugar = 1/2 cup
- Crushed graham crackers or graham cracker crumbs = 2 cup
- Sweetened condensed milk = 2 cans or 14 ounces each
- Melted butter = 1/2 cup
- Salt = a pinch or to taste
- Key lime juice = 2/3 cup or about 35 to 40 key limes
- Heavy cream for the whipped topping, (optional)
- Lime zest, (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 177° C or 350°F.
- Mix granulated sugar, graham cracker crumbs, salt, and melted butter using a medium mixing basin until well blended. When you press the mixture between your fingers, it should hold together. Move the mixture to an empty 9-inch pie serving, pressing it firmly & evenly into the bottom and edges.
- Place your pie dish into the oven for about 10-12 minutes until the crust turns golden brown. Remove your pie dish from the oven and let it cool on the wire rack. Meanwhile, prepare your filling.
- In a big mixer or the container of a stand mixer fitted with an attachment for a whisk, blend the key lime juice and sweetened condensed milk till smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour the contents into the chilled graham cracker crust then distribute evenly. Refrigerate your pie for a minimum of four hours, preferably overnight.
- Optionally, make whipped cream by beating heavy cream until firm peaks appear. You can add granulated sugar to your whipped cream to taste. Slice the cold pie & serve with the whipped cream, if preferred.
