Tart and creamy pie with a graham cracker crust.

30 minutes
Serves 8
Dessert

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and lime zest until smooth.

  4. 4

    Gradually whisk in the key lime juice. The mixture will begin to thicken immediately due to the reaction between the acid and the dairy.

  5. 5

    Pour the thickened lime filling into the baked graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

  6. 6

    Bake for 10-15 minutes until the filling is just set and holds its shape but is not browned. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) before slicing and serving.
