Equipment

  • 9-inch deep-dish pie plate
  • Large bowl and a whisk
  • Food Processor
  • Microplane

Ingredients
  

  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • 1 graham cracker crust 9-inch

Instructions
 

  • Get organized: Line up your ingredients like a pro.
    Fresh ingredients for lime pie including condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice, and graham cracker crust arranged on a kitchen counter.
  • Heat up: Pre-heat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • The Mix: Dump the condensed milk, lime juice, and yolks into a bowl. Mix it until it transforms into a smooth, creamy vision.
    Whisking egg yolks, condensed milk, and lime juice in a bowl to create the creamy filling for lime pie.
  • The Pour: Glug that mixture into your crust.
    Pouring smooth lime pie filling into a graham cracker crust before baking in the oven.
  • The Bake: Pop it in for about 15 minutes. Make sure it retains a slight 'jiggle' in the center—avoid overbaking it!
    Lime pie baking in the oven until the filling is slightly set but still soft in the center.
  • The Wait (The Hardest Part): Let it cool on the counter, then shove it in the fridge. It has to be cold to slice properly.

Notes

A dollop of sour cream as a topping is a game-changer—it makes the pie lush without stealing the lime's spotlight. I've messed up pies before, but this one's foolproof.
