Ingredients
Crust
1-1/4 cup 300 mL graham crumbs
2 tbsp 25 mL granulated sugar
1/4 cup 50 mL butter, melted

Filling
3 egg yolks
4 tsp 20 mL grated lime rind
1 can (300 mL) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup 125 mL fresh lime juice (4 to 5 limes)

Topping
1 cup 250 mL whipping cream
2 tbsp 25 mL granulated sugar

Method

Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (180°C).
Stir together graham crumbs, sugar and butter until well mixed. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate.
Bake for 10 minutes. Cool crust on wire rack while making filling.
Filling: Whisk egg yolks and lime rind until well blended. Stir in condensed milk and lime juice. Let mixture stand (it will thicken slightly) while crust finishes cooling. Pour filling into crust. Smooth top.
Bake until set, about 15 minutes. Cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Topping: Whip cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie.

Notes
Use a prepared 9? (23 cm) graham crust if you wish.
