Using simple ingredients, this pie offers the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors, topped with fluffy whipped cream.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs, yolks, and whites separated
• 1 large egg, beaten
• One 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
• ⅓ cup fresh lime juice (preferably from Key limes)
• 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest, plus more for garnish
• ½ cup cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Lime slices, to garnish

How To Make Key Lime Pie Recipe?

1. Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate and bake for 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
2. Make the filling: Whisk egg yolks and the whole egg in a bowl until thick. Add condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix well.
3. Combine filling and bake: Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into the lime mixture. Pour filling into the crust and bake for 13–15 minutes. Cool completely, then refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
4. Make the whipped cream: Whip heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until thick.
5. Garnish and serve: Top the pie with whipped cream, lime zest, and lime slices before serving.

Recipe Tips:

• Use fresh lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice (preferably Key limes) gives the best flavor. Bottled juice may taste artificial.
• Don’t skip beating the egg whites: Beating the egg whites adds air and creates a light, fluffy filling. Don’t overmix when folding them in.
• Let the pie cool completely: Cooling the pie on a rack and then refrigerating for at least 6 hours ensures the filling sets properly.
• Use a pre-chilled bowl for whipped cream: This helps the cream whip faster and stay fluffy longer.
• Press the crust firmly: Make sure the crust is packed tightly to hold its shape and prevent crumbling when slicing.

How To Store Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the pie cool to room temperature first. Cover it tightly and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Once the pie is completely cool, wrap it in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 1 month.
