Prep Time : 25 minutes / Cook Time : 3 hours and 10 minutes / Yields: 1 pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Place graham cracker crumbs in a bowl and mix with sugar, salt, and melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Make sure the mixture is even throughout the pie plate. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3

In the meantime, in a bowl mix sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and key lime zest. Pour the mixture into the baked crust. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. 

Step 4

Before serving, prepare whipped cream by adding cream, sugar, and vanilla in a metal bowl of a stand mixer. Whip the mixture starting on low speed and gradually raise the speed to medium high until cream forms medium to stiff peaks. Place cream in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Decorate pie with cream and decorate with lime slices. Serve.

Chef's Tip
  • If you cannot find key limes, you can use Persian limes for the pie, just add an additional ¼ cup of lime juice to the condensed milk mixture.
