Key Lime Pie

Key lime pie is always a favorite in my house. And, it is easy to make this recipe gluten free.

Ingredients

For the crust

• 1 1/2 cups of crushed graham crackers. If making this gluten free, that would be one box of Schar gluten free graham crackers.
• 5 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the filling

• 4 large egg yokes
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 28 oz. sweetened condensed milk

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
2. Crush the graham crackers in a food processor or a plastic bag
3. Mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl and stir until combined
4. Press the cracker mixture into the bottom of the pie pan and up the sides. You can use the back of a large spoon or measuring cup here. Set aside.
5. In another bowl, whisk the egg yokes together
6. Add the vanillla extract and the condensed milk. Stir until fully combined.
7. Add the key lime juice and stir in until fully combined.
8. Pour the filling into the pie crust that was set aside in step #4.
