How to Make Two Layer Key Lime Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pulse granola in a food processor until coarsely ground. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  3. Add graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch deep-dish glass pie plate.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until well blended.
  8. Pour the key lime mixture into the cooled crust.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is just set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely to room temperature.
  11. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  12. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy.
  13. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled key lime layer.
  14. Smooth the top with a butter knife.
  15. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
  16. Top with sweetened whipped cream or Cool Whip, if desired, before serving.
