This traditional Key lime pie recipe is as authentic as it gets. I am a Florida native who had Key lime trees in the back yard. A real Key lime pie is plain and simple. This is the recipe I grew up with. I hope you like it.
Ingredients
- 2 cans sweetened condensed milk , 14 ounce
- 4 jumbos egg yolks
- 0.5 cups Key lime juice
- 1 graham cracker crust , 8 inch

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

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.
