Easy Key Lime Pie {The Best!}
Transport yourself to the tropics with this easy key lime pie! You'll be surprised how quick this sweet & tangy baked pie with graham cracker crust is.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks beaten
- 28 ounces sweetened condensed milk 2 cans
- 1 cup key lime juice
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust (9 inch deep dish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine the beaten egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk and lime juice in a medium bowl. Whisk to mix well.
- Pour into unbaked graham cracker crust. *We used a 9" deep dish pie plate. If you use a smaller pan, you may need two pie crusts*
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Check the pie at 15 minutes to make sure the crust isn’t getting too brown. If it is, place a piece of foil over the top of the pie (don’t press down because you don’t want it touching the filling which might mess it up. If your pie is very full, I’d skip this step for that reason.)
- The pie is done when the top looks set, but it is still jiggly. The internal temperature should be about 145º Fahrenheit.
- Allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- Top with whipped topping and garnish with lime slices if desired.
- Refrigerate until serving.
