Ingredients
- Sweetened condensed milk- 6 cups
- Key lime juice- 1 1/2 cup
- Grated lime zest - 2 tablespoon
- Granulated sugar - 1 cup
- Unsalted butter melted - 8 tablespoons
- Graham cracker crumbs- 3 cups

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully combined. Then press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Pop it in your preheated oven at 350°F for approximately 10 minutes.
- To make the filling, vigorously whisk together sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, grated lime zest, and granulated sugar until all ingredients are blended.
- When the crust has cooled down, pour the liquid mixture into it and spread evenly over the surface.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F until the top starts to turn golden brown.
- Allow to rest for several hours, preferably overnight.
- Right before serving, top with a generous layer of sour cream and garnish with key lime wedges.
Notes
- It is important to use freshly squeezed key lime juice for this recipe in order to get the best flavor.
- If you find the pie is too tart, add more condensed milk or sugar until it reaches your desired sweetness.
- You can also top the pie with whipped cream instead of sour cream if you prefer.
