  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl until well combined. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Bake crust at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool completely.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in key lime juice and vanilla extract. Pour filling into cooled pie crust.
  5. Bake at 350F for 15-18 minutes or until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking.
  6. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This will help the filling set properly.

This pie has a silky texture and a perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavors. Serve with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. For a creative twist, try topping it with fresh key lime zest or edible flowers!
