  • Bake for 6 minutes. Cool completely before using.

Key Lime Pie Filling/Baking

  • Preheat oven to 300°
  • Whisk egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk together.
  • Pour lime juice into bowl whisking slowly so as not to create air bubbles.
  • Pour filling into cooled pie crust.
  • Bake for 16 - 18 minutes, or until pie is set. The middle of the pie filling will still be jiggling, do not overbake.
  • Cool completely then place in refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

Notes

If making your own graham cracker crumbs in a food processor, you will need approximately 16 graham crackers to make 2 cups of crumbs.
