Ingredients:
- 4 teaspoons - Lime Zest Grated
- 1/2 cups - Lime Juice - Fresh!!!
- 4 - Large Egg Yolks
- 1 cans - Sweetened Condensed Milk 14 Oz.
- 1 1/2 cups - Graham Crackers Processed to fine crumbs
- 3 tablespoons - Sugar
- 5 tablespoons - Unsalted Butter Melted
Directions:
1. For the Filling: Whisk zest and yolks in medium bowl until tinted light green, about 2 minutes. Beat in milk, then juice; set aside at room temperature to thicken.
2. For the Crust: Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Mix crumbs and sugar in medium bowl. Add butter; stir with fork until well blended. Pour mixture into 9-inch pie pan; press crumbs over bottom and up sides of pan to form even crust. Bake until lightly browned and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Transfer pan to wire rack; cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
3. Pour lime filling into crust; bake until center is set, yet wiggly when jiggled, 15 to 17 minutes. Return pie to wire rack; cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours. (Can be covered with lightly oiled or oil-sprayed plastic wrap laid directly on filling and refrigerated up to 1 day.)
