Scale
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups plain graham cracker crumbs (12 sheets)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 6 TB unsalted butter, melted
For the filling & to serve:
- 3 (15 oz) cans of sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup key lime juice
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- zest of 1–2 limes
- 1 recipe homemade whipped cream
Instructions
- Make the crust. Preheat the oven to 375F/190C. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and mix until well combined. Add the melted butter and mix well until all the crumbs are moistened and the mixture packs to the side of the bowl. Press the crust mixture onto the bottom and sides of a 9-10 inch pie plate. Bake the crust for 7 minutes. Set aside while you make the filling and lower the oven temperature to 350F/176C.
- Make the filling, bake and serve. In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, sour cream, and lime zest and whisk until well combined and smooth. Pour filling into baked crust just before loading into the oven. Bake the pie for 8 minutes, or until you can see tiny bubbles rise to the top. Do not brown the top of the pie.
- Let cool to room temperature, and allow the pie to chill for 4 hours before serving with homemade whipped cream!
