This lime pie features the perfect balance between sweet and tart with a cool, creamy texture. The filling requires only 3 ingredients and sits on top of a buttery graham cracker crust.
Combine the graham cracker crumbs and butter in a 9-inch pie pan. Stir together until moistened and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
Bake for 10 minutes. Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and lime juice until smooth. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
Baked the pie for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the center remains jiggly.
Cool for 1 hour on a wire rack. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Top with whipped cream, lime slices, and lime zest if desired.
Notes
The required time for the pie to chill and set is 3 hours. Save some time by making the pie a day before you plan to serve it.Adapted from Dessert Now, Dinner Later.
