Key Lime Crust
1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
0.5 cups brown sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons key lime zest
Key Lime Filling
4 egg yolks
3 tablespoons lime zest (from 4 key limes)
0.5 cups lime juice
1 can sweetened condensed milk

1
Preheat your oven to 350u00b0 F.
2
Start by combining graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, zest and melted butter in a large bowl until it sticks together like wet sand.
3
Spray the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with your preferred baking spray and pack your crust into the pie plate until it's densely and compactly situated. Bake for about 10-minutes or until it's looking golden and the smells start wafting. Set aside crust to cool, but don't turn off our oven.
4
For your filling, whisk together 4 egg yolks for about two minutes. Add your lime zest and continue whisking until your mixture is a pale green.
5
Whisk in your lime juice and condensed milk until your filling starts to thicken. Let rest for at least 20-minutes at room temperature, giving the filling adequate time to firm up. Pour filling into the cooled pie crust and return it to your 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until the center of your pie is firm.
6
Let your pie rest until it reaches room temperature and then place in the fridge to chill (can be made up to a day in advance).
7
Slice & serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream and a slice of lime!
