1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
1 (9 inch) ready-made graham cracker crust
Crafting Your Key Lime Pie
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mixing Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, amalgamate the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, sour cream, and lime zest; ensure a well-blended mixture. Pour this into your graham cracker crust, placing the pie onto a baking sheet for stability.
Baking the Pie: Place the pie in your preheated oven, allowing it to bake for a span of 5 to 8 minutes. Keep a watchful eye for tiny pinhole bubbles bursting on the pie’s surface. Although the filling will still exhibit a slight wobble, it should not brown.
Cooling and Serving: Transfer your pie to a wire rack, allowing it to cool. Subsequently, place it in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly for approximately 1 hour before serving. If desired, garnish with slender lime slices and a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
