Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
- 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice (about 6–8 key limes)
- 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp agar-agar powder
- 1 cup whipped topping (non-dairy optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). If making a homemade crust, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and press into a pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden.
- Juice the key limes to yield about half a cup of juice.
- In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, agar-agar powder, and lime juice until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for 15-20 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow pie to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
- Top with whipped topping before serving and garnish with lime slices or zest.
