Key Lime Pie

Copied from The Pioneer Woman with a few changes

Crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about one of the wrapped packages)
6 T melted butter
1/3 C sugar (optional)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix crumbs, butter and sugar together and press in a pie tin. Bake for 5 minutes.

Filling
1 T lime zest
1/2 cup key lime juice - or you can mix 1/2 regular lime juice and 1/2 lemon juice
2 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

Mix filling ingredients for 1 minute until thickened. Pour into crust. Bake about 15 minutes until set. Cool for one hour and then put in the refrigerator for another hour.

If you want more servings, you can double the recipe and make it in a 9 inch springform pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
