How to Make Rum Coconut Key Lime Pie

  1. **Make the Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  2. **Press into Pie Plate:** Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. **Chill the Crust:** Cover and chill the pie crust for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.
  4. **Make the Filling:** In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) and 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  5. **Add Flavor:** Beat in ¾ cup key lime juice and 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional). Mix until well combined.
  6. **Pour and Top:** Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust. Sprinkle evenly with ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut.
  7. **Chill:** Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
