Key Lime Pie
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, sour cream, and grated lime zest. Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Fill the Crust:
- Pour the prepared filling into the graham cracker crust. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills and make handling easier.
- Bake the Pie:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of the pie. The filling should be wobbly but not browned.
- Cool and Chill:
- Transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, thoroughly chill the pie in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream, if desired. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Enjoy your delicious, homemade Key lime pie with its perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors!
