Ingredients
Crust
Key Lime Pie
- 28 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk (795g)
- 1 cup Lime Juice (237mL)
- 5 Egg Yolks
- 1 tsp Lime Zest
Whipped Cream
- 1½ cups Heavy Whipping Cream (355mL)
- ¼ cup Powdered Sugar, sifted (30g)
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Make the Key Lime Pie
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks. Mix until fully combined.
- Add the lime juice, and once again mix until fully combined.
- Pour the filling into your prepared graham cracker crust.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until very tiny cracks begin to appear around the edges of the pie.
- Chill the pie for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator so the filling can fully set before serving.
Finish with Whipped Cream
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the cold heavy cream, sifted powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form and the cream holds its shape.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chilled key lime pie using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. For a more decorative look, transfer it to a piping bag and pipe rosettes or swirls across the top.
