Key Lime Pie
Makes one 9-inch pie
CRUST
6 ounces (170g) graham crackers
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
FILLING
1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
5 large egg yolks
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
¾ cup fresh lime juice, strained
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
TOPPING AND ASSEMBLY
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
More fresh lime zest, for serving
PREHEAT THE OVEN: Arrange an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
MAKE THE CRUST: Place the graham crackers in a resealable bag, press out the air, and seal. Use a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed saucepan to crush the crackers, periodically shaking the bag so the larger pieces settle to one side, and continue to crush until you have very fine, uniform crumbs. (You can also pulse them in a food processor until finely ground, but it’s very doable by hand.) Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and add the melted butter, granulated sugar, yolk, and salt. Toss with a fork until the mixture is well combined, then rub the mixture with your fingertips until it looks like wet sand.
PRESS IN THE CRUST AND BAKE: Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate and scatter the crumbs evenly across the bottom. Use a straight-sided glass or 1-cup dry measure to very firmly press the mixture up the sides of the plate and across the bottom, flattening it into an even layer. Place the plate on a sheet pan and bake until the crust is fragrant, firm to the touch, and dark brown around the edges, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.
REDUCE THE OVEN TEMP: Turn the oven down to 325°F.
MAKE THE FILLING AND BAKE: In a medium bowl, combine the zest, yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, salt, and vanilla and whisk until completely smooth. Pour the filling into the pie plate and smooth the surface. Transfer the pie back to the oven and bake until the filling is set and just a little wobbly in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
MAKE THE TOPPING: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar and work the mixture with a flexible spatula until the sugar is completely incorporated and the cream cheese is smooth. Switch to a whisk and slowly dribble in a couple of tablespoons of the cold cream, whisking to incorporate. Continue to slowly add the cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, until you have a thick, smooth mixture, then whisk vigorously until you have a softly whipped cream that forms medium peaks. Remove the pie from the refrigerator and scrape the whipped cream onto the surface, spreading it nearly to the edges. Return to the fridge and chill just until the topping is set, at least 15 minutes.
SERVE: Top the pie with fresh lime zest, cut into slices, and serve.
DO AHEAD: The pie can be baked and chilled (without the topping) 1 day ahead. When it’s cold, cover loosely with plastic wrap, then top within a couple of hours of serving. Any leftover pie will keep, covered with plastic, for several days in the refrigerator (the crust will soften over time).

    Once again (as an Australian), I'm ridiculously fascinated by the concept of yet another (culturally unfamiliar) dessert recipe. Subjectively speaking, lime isn't my favourite citrus fruit, but (given the opportunity) I wouldn't hesitate to try (or bake) key lime pie, (if nothing else) to determine the actuality of my indifference towards the aforementioned citrus fruit. Who knows, I might surprise myself! Thank you for sharing, Claire!

The whipped cream was delightful! A tip for the whipped cream, USE ROOM TEMP CREAM. it whipped up by hand to stiff peaks in less than five minutes! Cold cream takes at least twice as long to whip, and you don't have to worry about the cream cheese locking up from the cold cream.

    Different approach but this reminded me of a key lime dessert story (recipe described below tale). It involved lime curd & I've got a roughly 60/40 success rate w/curds generally. This turned out & I was so proud/excited! No one cared - they got so hung up on my using nilla wafers instead of graham crackers, the lowest effort part lol 🤦‍♀️ I had to make dessert well ahead & pace steps out. So I made a lime curd 1 day so I could focus on that, then made a no bake cheesecake another day. I layered in half the cheesecake filling, folded the other half with some curd for the second layer, & topped w/ remaining curd. Put the whole thing in the freezer so day of, I could just move to fridge & top w/ whipped cream.

    Thankfully Key Limes are always available in Florida! Must try this recipe! I love the addition of cream cheese. ❤

    I just made 2 key lime pies this evening for my wee Mamma's birthday tomorrow. Obviously, being in Northern Ireland, key limes are not a normal ingredient that we can get, so it's normal limes for my pies too. My recipe is pretty much the same as yours, but I add 50g of desiccated coconut to my digestive biscuit crust and no added sugar as digestives are sweet enough. And of course, plenty of fresh whipped cream too, Lee :)

    Speaking of great American citrus pies, I highly recommend East North Carolina Lemon Pie (which has a Saltine cracker crust!) and Sour Orange Pie (which is a real Floridan pie). Both are so so so good!

    I have a large abundance of yolks from baking macarons. Thanks for the reminder that key lime pie is the perfect dessert & a great way to use up yolks. Can't wait to try the yolk in the crust tip too!

    @jordansimpson3086 too funny! I cracked 2 dozen eggs last week and a dozen this week for macarons. I've already got a quart of yolks in the freezer. 😂 Looks like it's time to make pasta.

    I just made this, and it turned out great! The filling is excellent and nice and tart, which is exactly what I like in citrusy desserts. The crust also held together really well. Not sure if it's just my oven, but my filling was still pretty runny after 15-20 minutes, so I left it in a bit longer. I also added a bit more cream cheese to the topping, but that's just personal preference. It's also great as written in the recipe.

    Mine had to be in the oven for about 30 minutes before it looked set. Still waiting on it to cool to see if it even that was enough time. My oven must be too cold... need to get a thermometer.

    I was going to make this when my husband told me he hates lime 😅 the night before … so I substituted every lime component with lemon and it turned out great! I’m a beginner baker and I’d never made a graham cracker crust before (I’m from Europe and we don’t really do those where I lived) and it turned out a little too crumbly, but otherwise it was a nice and straightforward recipe. Hubby goes for seconds every time now, so I’m kinda proud lol

    I got the recipe from my grandmother, and my nanny. We are southern. This recipe can also be used to make lemon meringue pie. All good right up to the topping. Never never whipped cream. You have 5 egg whites right there, beat to almost stiff peaks with a little sugar, and slide from the bowl to the top of the baked custard and seal the edges to the crumb. Make the meringue pretty and put it back in the oven until all those peaks or swirls are golden brown. Cool thoroughly and chill once it's cool.

    LOVE Key Lime pie, can't wait to try this. Question: what would the steps be if you wanted to make something like a mango key lime pie (if that's sacrilege)? Adding mango puree into the filling mixture? Anything else needed to balance that addition of liquid?

    I make a mix of sour cream and sugar(just to taste, thin layer)and that gets spread on the top for the last 5-10 min of baking. Gives a nice contrast to the custard.

    @@CSaffitz so I made it… And this was one of the best pies I’ve ever made!! A good crunch (and not soggy) pie shell. Velvety texture of the key lime filling. Not too tart or tangy but just what I needed. What did it for me was the cream cheese whipped cream. The cream cheese whipped cream was a *GAME CHANGER* and I didn’t expect it to be as addictive. It was ridiculously good! Why I never did that with any of my pies, I don’t know but I will now. While adding the zest of lime, I almost was tempted to add some coconut shavings. Maybe next time. Thank you for sharing this recipe. This made my day.
