Description
Easy Key Lime Pie is a refreshing and tart dessert made with fresh key lime juice and sweetened condensed milk in a graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 large egg yolks, beaten
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 1 prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients, ensuring everything is ready for easy preparation.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure an even bake.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, condensed milk, and key lime juice until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust and bake for 15 minutes, or until the filling is set with a slight jiggle.
- Let the pie cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours.
- Serve chilled with whipped cream or lime slices for garnish.
Notes
- Use fresh key lime juice for the best flavor, avoiding bottled versions.
- Be careful not to overbake the pie to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
- If you don’t have key limes, regular limes work as a substitute.
