5 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
0.5 cup Key lime juice- 1 Tbsp key lime zest
1.5 cups heavy cream
Cookware
- 1 medium bowl
- 1 9-inch pie plate
- 1 wire rack
- 1 electric mixer
Instructions
Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar in a medium bowl; mix well. Press into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
Step 2
Lower oven to 325°F. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, Key lime juice, and key lime zest. Pour into the prepared, cooled crust.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Shortly before serving, combine heavy cream and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon over cooled pie; garnish with zest. Serve immediately.
