Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Key Lime Pie.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, blend together sweetened condensed milk, zesty key lime juice, creamy sour cream, and freshly grated lime zest until the mixture is smooth and harmonious.
Step 3
Carefully pour this luscious filling into your prepared graham cracker crust, then set the pie on a baking sheet for stability.
Step 4
Slide it into the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, watching for tiny pinhole bubbles to form on the surface—this is your cue that it’s almost ready.
Step 5
The filling should have a delightful wobble without any browning.
Step 6
Once baked, take the pie out and let it cool on a wire rack, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 7
After it has cooled, pop it in the refrigerator for at least an hour to chill thoroughly.
Step 8
When you’re ready to serve, adorn your pie with vibrant lime slices and a dollop of whipped cream if you like.
Step 9
Savor each bite of your refreshing Key Lime Pie, a true taste of sunshine!.
