Time 3h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons grated lime zest
3/4 cup squeezed fresh lime juice (4 to 5 limes)
1 cup heavy cream, cold
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
thin lime wedge

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl.
  • Press into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure the sides and the bottom are an even thickness.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • For the filling, beat the egg yolks and sugar on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for 5 minutes, until thick.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, add the condensed milk, lime zest, and lime juice. Pour into the baked pie shell and freeze.
  • For the decoration, beat the heavy cream on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until firm. Spoon or pipe decoratively onto the pie and decorate with lime.
  • Freeze for several hours or overnight.
  • *RAW EGG WARNING.
  • Please use caution when consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, it is recommended you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have the time or patience to make it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't look anything like the pictures. It was a total disaster.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out very well. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny.

This is the best frozen key lime pie I've ever had. It's the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the crust is to die for.
