Authentic Key Lime Pie

I am a Florida native who raised Key lime trees in the back yard. This recipe is as authentic as it gets. A real Key lime pie is plain, simple. This is the recipe I grew up with. I hope you like it.

Ingredients

• 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
• ½ cup key lime juice
• 4 jumbo egg yolks
• 1 (8 inch) graham cracker crust

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk condensed milk and egg yolks together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in Key lime juice; mixture will be thin at first but will thicken as it is whisked. Whisk until smooth and thick. Pour into the graham cracker crust.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center, 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate before serving, 5 hours to overnight.
