Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For crust:
7 (5-by 2 1/2-inch) graham crackers, broken into small pieces
3/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
For filling:
2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
Grated zest of 2 Key limes
1 cup fresh Key lime juice (from about 2 pounds fresh Key limes)
4 large egg yolks
Accompaniment: sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Pulse together graham crackers, almonds, and sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl and stir in butter. Press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of pie plate. Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool completely. (Leave oven on.)
  • Make filling and bake pie:
  • Gently whisk together filling ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and pour into crust. Bake until just set in center, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Cool completely (filling will set as it cools). Chill pie, loosely covered, at least 8 hours.

I'm not a big fan of key lime pie, but I have to admit that this recipe is pretty good. The crust is flaky and the filling is smooth and tangy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out really runny. It was still tasty, though.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The crust was too hard and the filling was too tart.

I used a combination of key limes and regular limes and it turned out great. I could really taste the difference between the two.

I used a store-bought graham cracker crust and it worked just fine. The pie was still delicious.
