  • Total Time: 2 hours 48 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

For the Filling:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice (from about 12 key limes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Prepare Crust: Mix the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl until combined. Press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch or 10-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a flat measuring cup to press the crust mixture down until compact. Bake for 8 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  3. Prepare Filling: Using an electric mixer, mix the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and key lime juice on medium speed until well combined.
  4. Bake Pie: Pour the key lime pie mixture into your pre-baked gluten-free graham cracker crust and smooth the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the filling is set. The center will be slightly jiggly, but it will set up as it cools.
  5. Cool and Refrigerate: Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  6. Serve: Serve cold. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
