Description

A quick and creamy Key Lime Pie made with just four ingredients—perfect for busy days, summer cravings, or last-minute entertaining. Tangy, sweet, and effortlessly impressive!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large egg yolks (approx. 100 g), beaten

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1/2 cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)

  • 1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crust


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and key lime juice until smooth.

  • Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top.

  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the center is just set and no longer jiggles.

  • Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving (longer if possible).

  • Serve chilled with whipped cream and lime slices, if desired.

Notes

Bottled key lime juice is a great substitute for fresh.

Add 1 tsp lime zest for more citrus flavor.

For best results, don’t skip chilling—it helps the pie set perfectly.

Can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
