Description

A no-bake dessert with a buttery graham cracker crust and a zesty, silky key lime filling. Perfect for summer, this tangy and creamy pie is a crowd-pleasing tropical treat that feels like sunshine in every bite.


Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 large egg yolks
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup key lime juice (fresh or quality bottled)


Instructions

Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter until crumbly.
Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with condensed milk until smooth.
Add key lime juice and whisk until fully combined.
Pour filling into prepared crust and smooth the top.
Chill pie for 4 hours or until fully set.
Serve cold with a sprinkle of lime zest.

Notes

For a gluten-free crust, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
Chill pie at least 4 hours for optimal texture.
Use fresh key limes for the most vibrant flavor.
