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

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 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.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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