Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
  • Zest of 2 limes (for garnish)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until well combined.
  2. If using, fold in the sour cream for added creaminess and richness.
  3. Transfer the mixture into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight is ideal for the best results.
  5. Once set, slice and serve with whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of lime zest for garnish.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh Key limes. This pie can be made a day in advance for deeper flavor.
