How to Make Emerils Key Lime Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Mix with your hands until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup key lime juice, and 4 large eggs until smooth and well combined.
  7. Pour the key lime filling into the cooled pie crust.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is just set around the edges. The center may still appear slightly jiggly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to fully set.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until smooth.
  11. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top of the chilled pie.
  12. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon key lime zest and serve chilled.
