Time 3h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons grated lime zest
3/4 cup squeezed fresh lime juice (4 to 5 limes)
1 cup heavy cream, cold
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
thin lime wedge

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl.
  • Press into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure the sides and the bottom are an even thickness.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • For the filling, beat the egg yolks and sugar on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for 5 minutes, until thick.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, add the condensed milk, lime zest, and lime juice. Pour into the baked pie shell and freeze.
  • For the decoration, beat the heavy cream on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until firm. Spoon or pipe decoratively onto the pie and decorate with lime.
  • Freeze for several hours or overnight.
  • *RAW EGG WARNING.
  • Please use caution when consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, it is recommended you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

The crust was a bit soggy. I think I needed to bake it for a few minutes longer.

This pie is a bit too tart for my taste. I would add more sugar to the filling next time.

Ina Garten's frozen key lime pie recipe is a winner! The crust is flaky and buttery, the filling is creamy and tart, and the meringue is perfectly toasted.
