How to Make Green Stuff Lime Pie

  1. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs with ¼ cup melted butter. Press into a 9-inch lightly buttered pie pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks until thick and pale yellow.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, ensuring no lumps form.
  4. Stir in 1 cup key lime juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and green food coloring to your desired intensity.
  5. In a separate clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add ½ cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites into the lime mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs over the top.
  8. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm. Let stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
