Ingredients

Crust:

8 ounces graham crackers, crushed
4 ounces butter, melted

Filling:

1 cup canned sweetened condensed milk, chilled
4 egg yolks, cold
1/2 cup key lime juice, cold
Whipped cream, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

To make the crust, combine the ingredients in a bowl and mix well for 2 minutes. Mold the mixture into a greased, 10-inch pie shell and bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the crust from the oven and allow to cool.

To make the filling, combine the milk and the egg yolks and mix well. Slowly add the key lime juice and mix just until incorporated. Do not overmix or the pie will not set-up in the refrigerator. Pour the mix into the pre-baked pie shell and refrigerate until set.

To serve, slice the pie and serve with whipped cream or serve plain.

Easy as Pie =)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love key lime pie and this was the closest to an original key lime pie. I have modified the recipe to include some rind in... the custard and shredded coconut in the graham cracker crust. YUM!Read more

This was a wonderful pie. Not only was it quick and easy to make but it takes great. The only thing I would recommend is... doubleing the receipe if using a nine inch pie pan.Read more

Anyone For Runny Pie?
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Don't know what I did wrong...I didn't think I overmixed it, but mine didn't set up. Still tasted great though! I'll just... have to eat it as Key Lime pudding.Read more

Good but Limey
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It was very tasty and extremely easy to do. However, it seemed like the recomended ammount of lime juice was a little much.... It turned out a bit tart but nonetheless a household favorite. I would say use 1/4 cup less than called for. ;)Read more

BEST KEY LIME PIE
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Of all the key lime pie recipes I've found, this is the best overall. However I did double the filling ingredients to fill... the crust to the top and found it much better.Read more
