Ingredients
Crust:
- 11 whole graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- pinch of sea salt (optional)
Filling:
- 2 14 oz. cans sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup key lime juice*
- Topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Lime Zest to top (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a medium sied bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and the pinch of salt if used. Mix together with a spoon and press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate.
- Bake crust for 5-7 minutes or until toasty on the edges.
- For the filling:
- Mix together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and lime juice. Pour into finished pie crust and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until little bubbles form on the surface of the pie and start to pop. (Don't let the pie get brown!)
- Allow the pie to chill for a few hours/overnight.
To serve:
- Beat heavy cream to stiff peaks and stir in the powdered sugar. Spoon over pie and top with lime zest.
Notes
*If you can't find fresh key limes, bottled key lime juice works great. I have also used fresh lime juice in a pinch.
