Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).

  • Pre-bake crust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on.
  • Make the filling: Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and egg yolks together, then whisk in the lime zest. Pour into warm crust.
  • Bake the pie for 18–20 minutes or until slightly jiggly in the center. Allow to cool completely, then chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Garnish as desired.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For best results, chill the pie for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance the flavors.
