Description
A refreshing dessert that embodies the spirit of summer with creamy sweetness and tangy citrus flavor, perfectly balanced in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice
- 2 large egg yolks
- Zest of 2 limes
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish to form your crust.
- Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, and lime zest in another bowl until smooth.
- Pour the lime mixture over the prepared crust in the baking dish.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until the filling just sets—it should still jiggle slightly.
- Cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
For a fun twist, consider adding coconut flakes for extra flavor.
