Ingredients

1 ½ cups - graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons - granulated white sugar
⅓ cup - salted butter
2 ½ cups - sweetened condensed milk
2 - egg yolks
1 tsp - vanilla extract
¾ cup - fresh key lime juice*
½ cup - sour cream
whipped cream
lime zest*

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Pour the crust mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and press firmly onto the bottom and sides of the pan to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Leave the oven on while you prepare the filling.
Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add the key lime juice and continue whisking until combined. Lastly, whisk in the sour cream until smooth.
Pour the filling into the still-warm graham cracker crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 13-14 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack to room temperature before covering and refrigerating for at least 4-6 hours. Serve with whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
