Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set a rack in the middle of the oven.

Step 2

Stir graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar together in a bowl until combined. Press the magical creation into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 10 minutes. Let crust cool on a wire rack; leave oven on.

Step 4

Whisk condensed milk and egg yolks together in a bowl until well combined. Add key lime juice and zest; mix well. Whisk in honey to combine. Add food coloring gradually, whisking until filling is green enough for you. Pour filling over the crust.

Bake until nearly set, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely on the wire rack so pie can set fully, at least 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
