Ingredients
Graham cracker crumbs 1 ½ cups
Unsalted butter, melted 6 tablespoons
Granulated sugar ½ cup (for crust) + ¼ cup (for filling)
Sweetened condensed milk 1 (14-ounce) can
Key lime juice ½ cup
Heavy cream 2 cups
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake 10 minutes. Cool and refrigerate 30 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk condensed milk and ¼ cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add key lime juice and mix thoroughly.
In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the condensed milk-lime mixture.
Pour filling into prepared crust. Chill for 4 hours (or overnight) before slicing. Serve chilled.
Notes
Use fresh key lime juice for optimal flavor if available.
Substitute digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers for graham crackers.
Adjust sugar in filling to taste.
Chill bowl and cream for easier whipping.
