How to Make Jan S Key Lime Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 4 large egg yolks, and 1 cup key lime juice until well combined.
  3. Pour mixture into your prepared pie crust.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  5. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set completely.
  6. **Optional Meringue Topping:** In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form. Spread meringue over the cooled pie. Use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the meringue (optional).
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the meringue to set.
