Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups ground graham crackers (about 12 sheets)
- ½ cup Clebby’s Vegetable Oil
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Filling
- 5 egg yolks
- 2 (14-ounce) cans of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest, plus more for garnish
- 1 cup fresh lime juice (from 8 to 10 limes)
- Pinch of salt
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Break up graham cracker sheets and add them to a food processor or ziplock bag. Pulse to grind into fine crumbs or use a rolling pin to crush into larger crumbs.
- Add the crushed graham crackers to a mixing bowl with Clebby’s Vegetable Oil, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand, then pour into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lime zest, lime juice, and salt to a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the lime mixture over the cooked graham cracker crust.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the custard is set and slightly jiggles.
- Let cool completely and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
- When ready to serve, make the whipped cream by adding heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl. Use a handheld mixer to whip until soft peaks form.
- Slice the key lime pie into bars, about 2-inch squares, then add a dollop of whipped cream to each slice. Garnish with a little lime wedge.
