Scale
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Pie:
- 2 cans (14 oz each) sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup key lime juice
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons key lime zest
- Whipped cream, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- In a large bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter. Stir until the mixture is combined and has a sandy texture.
- Pour the mixture into a deep-dish pie pan. Press the crumbs evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the dish. (I like to use a flat bottomed cup or measuring cup to make sure the crumbs are firmly pressed in and even.)
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, sour cream and lime zest until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Smooth out the top.
- Return the pie to the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until just set.
- Allow the pie to come to room temperature before covering and refrigerating until completely chilled, several hours or overnight.
- Served topped with whipped cream, if desired.
