📝 Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups graham crumbs
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 5 Tablespoons salted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 2 Tablespoons key lime zest
  • 28 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, mix together graham crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press the crust mixture into a 9-inch pie pan.
  3. 3Bake the graham crumb crust for 10 minutes.
  4. 4While that is baking, prepare the key lime filling. Using an electric hand mixer, combine the key lime juice, zest, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, 2 egg yolks, and powdered sugar.
  5. 5Pour the filling into the baked crust.

  8. 8Serve with whipped cream and lime zest or lime slices if desired.
