How to Make Mimi's Fresh Key Lime Pie

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
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.
Pour the mixture into a 9-inch graham cracker pie crust.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to fully set and chill.
Before serving, top with whipped cream (approximately 1 cup).
Slice the pie and garnish each slice with a key lime wedge and a fresh mint leaf.
