Easy Key Lime Pie
This Key Lime Pie is surprisingly simple but insanely delicious. Made with fresh lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and a homemade graham cracker crust, it's sweet, tart, and creamy. Fun fact: I got this recipe from a restaurant I worked at!
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 crackers)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
For the filling
- 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
- ¾ cup key lime juice
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crust ingredients. Pour into a 9-inch pie dish and use the back of a spoon to press firmly into the bottom and sides. Prebake the crust for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- In a large bowl, whisk all the filling ingredients until smooth. Pour into the pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until mostly set (it will set more after baking)
- Let the pie rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before covering and transferring to the fridge to finish chilling for at least one hour.
