Steps:
- For the graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Break up the graham crackers; place in a food processor and process to crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place the crackers in a large plastic bag; seal and then crush the crackers with a rolling pin. Add the melted butter and sugar and pulse or stir until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and side of a pie pan, forming a neat border around the edge. Bake the crust until set and golden, 8 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack; leave the oven on.
- For the filling: Meanwhile, in an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to beat until thick, 3 or 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice, mixing just until combined, no longer. Pour the mixture into the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
- For the topping: Whip the cream and the confectioners' sugar until nearly stiff. Cut the pie into wedges and serve very cold, topping each wedge with a large dollop of whipped cream.

KEY LIME PIE
This is the frozen key lime pie that ends up all over Jack Nicholson's face in the film adaptation of the novel "Heartburn," Nora Ephron's thinly veiled recounting of her disastrous marriage to Carl Bernstein. It is very easy to make, and the large amount of key lime juice guarantees a tart, impressive flavor. We recommend eating it, though, not using it as a weapon.

KEY LIME PIE WITH 5 INGREDIENTS
I wanted a quick and easy pie that would mimic the flavor of Key Lime Pie but without the fuss. I tried a popular on-line recipe but found that without a gelling ingredient, the pie was messy to serve and the slices ran together. To solve the problem, I added Instant Pudding Mix and was very pleasantly surprised with the result. Note: use a LARGE graham cracker crust (deep dish type). If your store only carries the small prepared graham crusts, use two crusts.

Tips:
- Use key limes. Key limes are smaller and have a more intense flavor than regular limes. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but you may need to add more to get the same flavor.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the pie before serving. Chilling the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will help the flavors to develop and the pie to set.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream is the perfect way to top off a slice of key lime pie.
Conclusion:
Key lime pie is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With its creamy, tart filling and graham cracker crust, it's the perfect pie for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing dessert, give this key lime pie recipe a try.
