Ingredients:
- 3 cups sweetened condensed milk
- ¾ cup key lime juice
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
- 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a bowl, combine condensed milk, key lime juice, sour cream, and lime zest; mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust and place the pie on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the pie’s surface. The filling should be wobbly, not browned.
- Transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool, then chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream, if desired.
