How to Make Mimi's Fresh Key Lime Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 4 large egg yolks, ½ cup fresh key lime juice, and 2 tablespoons key lime zest until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch graham cracker pie crust.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to fully set and chill.
  7. Before serving, top with whipped cream (approximately 1 cup).
  8. Slice the pie and garnish each slice with a key lime wedge and a fresh mint leaf.
