Key Lime Pie
GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:
KEY LIME PIE FILLING INGREDIENTS:
For the Pie Filling: In a medium-size bowl add 4 egg yolks and whisk in key lime zest that has been roughly chopped.
Add sweetened condensed milk and whisk in key lime juice. Once thoroughly combined, cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature while preparing the crust.
For the Pie Assembly: Place the graham crackers into a plastic bag and crush using a rolling pin until it is mostly fine crumbs.
Place fine crumbs into a medium-size bowl along with brown sugar, fine sea salt and whisk together before adding melted unsalted butter mixing together until a wet sand mixture is reached.
Press into a 9” pie mold evenly, using the bottom of a flat cup. Bake the crust at 350°F for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
Once cooled, pour in the key lime pie filling and bake at 350°F 15-17 minutes or until set, but still slightly jiggly.
Pull it out of the oven and let it cool most of the way, then place it in the fridge to let it cool completely, at least 3 hours but ideally overnight.
After completely cooled, slice and serve with a dollop of whip cream and fresh grated key lime zest.
