Key Lime Pie

Crust:
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar

5 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling:
4 egg yolks
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh or bottled Key lime juice

Topping:
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a small bowl until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press mixture evenly over bottom and up sides of a 9" pie plate. Bake in center of oven 8 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Beat egg yolks in a medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until pale. Beat in condensed milk and lime juice until well blended. Pour into crust. Bake in center of oven 25-30 minutes until filing is set. Cool pie on a wire rack, then refrigerate at least 4 hours until cold.

Shortly before serving, beat cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted. Garnish with lime slices if desired.
