How to Make Catahoula's Key Lime Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). If making your own crust, press graham cracker crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth.
  3. Pour the key lime filling into the prepared crust.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is just set around the edges. The center may still be slightly jiggly.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
  6. Before serving, pipe whipped cream around the edges of the pie and garnish with fresh lime zest.
