Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, until tiny bubbles burst on the surface of pie. Don’t let it brown – take it out if it starts to. Put in the refrigerator immediately after and garnish with lime slices.

Notes

Use Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice: For the best flavor, squeeze fresh key limes or regular limes to obtain the juice. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it may lack the fresh and vibrant taste of freshly squeezed juice.
Adjust Lime Juice to Taste: Key Lime Pie is known for its tangy flavor. Taste the filling as you mix in the lime juice and adjust the amount according to your preference. Some people prefer a more tart pie, while others prefer a milder citrus flavor.
Zest the Limes: Consider grating the zest from the limes before juicing them. Lime zest adds an extra burst of citrus flavor and aroma to the filling. Sprinkle some zest on top of the pie for an attractive garnish.
Pre-Bake the Crust: To prevent a soggy crust, pre-bake it before adding the filling. This helps the crust retain its crispness even after the creamy filling is added. Brushing the crust with a thin layer of beaten egg white before baking can also create a barrier and further prevent sogginess.
Let the Pie Cool Completely: After baking, allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating it. This ensures that the filling sets properly and maintains its texture.
Garnish Creatively: Enhance the presentation of your Key Lime Pie by adding creative garnishes. Some popular options include whipped cream, lime zest, lime slices, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
