Key Lime Pie with Powdered Sugar and Evaporated Milk Twist

Preparation Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Preparing the Crust In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs (1½ cups), granulated sugar (⅓ cup), and melted butter (½ cup). Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Baking the Crust Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool while preparing the filling.

Preparing the Filling In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar (½ cup), evaporated milk (½ cup), key lime juice (¾ cup), lime zest, and egg yolks (3) until well combined.

Baking the Pie Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for 15-20 minutes until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Cooling and Setting Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.

Preparing the Topping In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream (1 cup) with powdered sugar (½ cup) and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) until stiff peaks form.

Finishing Touches Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie before serving.
