How to Make Kelly's Rich And Creamy Key Lime Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Let the crust cool completely.
Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is just set around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly. (Do not overbake!)
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to fully set.
Before serving, top with whipped cream (optional) and a lime wedge.
