Classic Key Lime Pie
A buttery graham cracker crust filled with a silky, tart-sweet key lime custard and crowned with lightly sweetened whipped cream.
- Only three filling ingredients
- Bright fresh lime zest
- Make-ahead friendly
No dessert says South Florida quite like key lime pie, and our test kitchen has baked more of them than we can count. The filling is just three ingredients - sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and fresh key lime juice - so every one of them has to be good. A short bake sets the custard to a clean, sliceable texture and cooks the yolks safely. We add plenty of zest for a floral lime punch that cuts right through the richness.
Instructions
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the center. In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and salt, then add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs look like wet sand.
