Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 Tablespoons salted butter melted

Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh key lime juice about 9-10 limes
  • 2 Tablespoons key lime zest
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 egg yolks
  • whipped cream and lime slices, for topping optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Prepare the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and butter.
  • Press it into a 9-inch pie plate and bake the crust for 10 minute, remove and set aside.
  • Make the filling by adding key lime juice, key lime zest, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and egg yolks to a bowl.
  • Using a hand mixer, blend together the mixture until combined..
  • Pour the filling into the crust.
  • Bake the pie for 15 minutes. (Filling should be almost set)
  • Once the pie has cooled to room temperature, chill for 3 hours or more.
  • Decorate with whipped cream and slices of lime, if desired.

Notes

  • If you can't find key limes, regular lime juice and zest will work.
  • This pie can be frozen for up to 1 month.
  • If you want to cut time you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust.
  • If you are not a fan of sour cream, you can substitute with plain non-fat greek yogurt.
