Key Lime Pie

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat your oven to 350° F.
2. 2
   Start by combining graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, zest and melted butter in a large bowl until it sticks together like wet sand.
3. 3
   Spray the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with your preferred baking spray and pack your crust into the pie plate until it's densely and compactly situated. Bake for about 10-minutes or until it's looking golden and the smells start wafting. Set aside crust to cool, but don't turn off our oven.
4. 4
   For your filling, whisk together 4 egg yolks for about two minutes. Add your lime zest and continue whisking until your mixture is a pale green.
5. 5
   Whisk in your lime juice and condensed milk until your filling starts to thicken. Let rest for at least 20-minutes at room temperature, giving the filling adequate time to firm up. Pour filling into the cooled pie crust and return it to your 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until the center of your pie is firm.
6. 6
   Let your pie rest until it reaches room temperature and then place in the fridge to chill (can be made up to a day in advance).
7. 7
   Slice & serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream and a slice of lime!
