Tips:

For the best results, use fresh key limes for the filling. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
To make the graham cracker crust, you can use either store-bought graham cracker crumbs or make your own. To make your own, simply crush graham crackers in a food processor until they are fine crumbs.
When making the filling, be sure to beat the egg yolks and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow. This will help to prevent the filling from curdling.
Bake the pie until the center is set. The pie should be slightly jiggly in the center, but it should not be liquid.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

This skinny key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. The pie is also a good source of vitamin C and calcium.
