Steps:
- 1. CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the ingredients together and press them into a 9-inch pie plate (glass or pre-formed tin is your option). Bake in oven in middle rack for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven, and cool on a rack. Note: Do not turn off the oven, as you will be baking the next portion of the pie momentarily.
- 2. PIE FILLING: In a stand mixer with the whipping attachment, beat the egg yolks on medium speed until they are thick and turn yellow, DO NOT OVERMIX!
- 3. Turn the mixer off and add the sweetened condensed milk, and turn the mixer speed to low. Drizzle 1/2 of the lime juice. Once the lime juice is incorporated, add the other half of the juice and the zest, continue to mix until melted (just a few seconds).
- 4. Pour the mixture into the pie shell.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes to set the yolks. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for approximately 2 hours to set.
- 6. WHIPPING CREAM: In a stainless steel medium bowl, combine whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla and whisk by hand until creamy peaks form.
- 7. SERVING: Take the pie out of the refrigerator and slice pie in 8ths. Plate pie and add a dollop of whip cream! Try it also with some toasted coconut too!
AUTHENTIC KEY LIME PIE
I am a Florida native who raised Key lime trees in the back yard. This recipe is as authentic as it gets. A real Key lime pie is plain, simple. This is the recipe I grew up with. I hope you like it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk condensed milk and egg yolks together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in Key lime juice; mixture will be thin at first but will thicken as it is whisked. Whisk until smooth and thick. Pour into the graham cracker crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate before serving, 5 hours to overnight.
