Key Lime Pie Recipe
This Key Lime Pie recipe combines the rich flavors of condensed milk and sour cream for an incredibly easy and refreshing summertime treat. While a store-bought graham cracker crust works well, taking the time to make a homemade crust will elevate the pie to another level. For a finishing touch, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and thin lime slices.

Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup key lime juice
- 3 cups sweetened condensed milk
- 1 9 inch prepared graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients and preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a mixing bowl, blend the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, sour cream, and lime zest until thoroughly combined. Pour this mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and set the pie on a baking sheet for stability.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, or until you notice tiny pinhole bubbles forming and popping on the surface. The pie's filling should remain slightly wobbly without browning.
- Once baked, place the pie on a wire rack to cool to room temperature. After it has cooled, transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill completely, which should take about an hour. For an extra touch, garnish with lime slices and a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
