Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

Crust:

8 ounces graham crackers, crushed
4 ounces butter, melted

Filling:

1 cup canned sweetened condensed milk, chilled
4 egg yolks, cold
1/2-cup key lime juice, cold
Whipped cream, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
   
2. To make the crust, combine the ingredients in a bowl and mix well for 2 minutes. Mold the mixture into a greased, 10-inch pie shell and bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the crust from the oven and allow to cool.
   
3. To make the filling, combine the milk and the egg yolks and mix well. Slowly add the key lime juice and mix just until incorporated. Do not overmix or the pie will not set-up in the refrigerator. Pour the mix into the pre-baked pie shell and refrigerate until set.
   
4. To serve, slice the pie and serve with whipped cream or serve plain.

The American Egg Board states: "There have been warnings against consuming raw or lightly cooked eggs on the grounds that the egg may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria responsible for a type of foodborne illness. Healthy people need to remember that there is a very small risk and treat eggs and other raw animal foods accordingly. Use only properly refrigerated, clean, sound-shelled, fresh, grade AA or A eggs. Avoid mixing yolks and whites with the shell..."
