Key Lime Pie (Tart)

8 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 2-1/2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 14 ounces, fluid Sweetened, Condensed Milk
  • 4 whole Egg Yolks
  • 1/4 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Key Lime Zest
  • 1/2 cups Freshly Squeezed Key Lime Juice

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. 2
    In a food processor, combine graham cracker crumbs (or whole graham crackers), sugar, and melted butter. Pulse a few times, then scrape down the sides and repeat once more.
  3. 3
    Pour the crumb mixture into your tart shell (or pie dish) and press along the bottom and up the sides.
  4. 4
    Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove your crust from the oven and let cool while you prepare the filling.
  5. 5
    In the bowl of your mixer, combine the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until blended.
  6. 6
    Once combined, pour your mixture into the cooled tart shell. You may have to move the shell around a little to make sure the filling is spread out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from the oven, and let cool.
  7. 7
    Add sliced key limes to the top for decoration. Let this cool in the fridge for a few hours (overnight is even better), and voila! All I need is some fresh whipped cream and a cup of coffee to accompany this and I'm good to go.
