¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
4 large egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons key lime zest
⅔ cup key lime juice
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
4 key limes, sliced or zested, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  • Bake the crust until it begins to turn golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Yield Makes 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups graham-cracker crumbs, broken into pieces
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons sugar
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice (about 17 limes)
1 tablespoon grated key lime zest, plus more for garnish (about 8 limes)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
3 tablespoons sugar
8 large egg whites
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • For the Crust: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine graham-cracker crumbs, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl; mix well. Press into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
  • For the Filling: Lower oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, key lime juice, and zest. Pour into the prepared, cooled crust.
  • Return pie to oven, and bake until the center is set but still quivers when the pan is nudged, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the Whipped Cream Topping: Shortly before serving, combine cream and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon over cooled pie and serve immediately.
  • For the Meringue Topping: Add topping shortly before serving. In a large bowl, combine egg whites, sugar, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread meringue on pie, making sure it touches the crust all around. Use a kitchen blowtorch to brown meringue all over.
