2 cans sweetened condensed milk (28oz)

Whipped Cream

Directions

Crust

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).

Combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Add the melted butter and stir until fully combined and all of the crumbs are moistened.

Scoop the mixture into a 9-9.5 inch pie plate and firmly press it down into an even layer on the bottom and up around the sides of the dish.

Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes while you make the filling.

Keep oven temperature at 350°F (177°C).

Filling

Combine the lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, lime zest and egg yolks in a large mixing bowl and whisk until fully combined.

Pour the filling into the slightly cooled graham cracker crust and spread it around into one even layer.

Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 18-22 minutes or until the top of the pie is set, the pie will still be jiggly.

Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 2 hours. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Once chilled, top with whipped cream, serve and enjoy!
