Ingredients
Crust:
18 whole graham crackers (the 4-section large pieces)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
Filling:
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 heaping tablespoon grated lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice
2 large egg yolks
Whipped cream, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the crust: Crush the graham crackers in a food processor or a resealable plastic bag. Pour them into a bowl and stir in the melted butter and sugar. Press the mixture into a pie pan and bake until golden and set, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- For the filling: Mix the condensed milk, lime zest, lime juice and egg yolks in the bowl of a mixer and mix on high until smooth and thick.
- Pour the mixture into the crust and bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour -- more if possible.
- Serve with whipped cream.
