Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust

Filling

  • 2 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup key lime juice Freshly squeezed is best

Topping

  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and sour cream. Once smooth, add the lime juice. Whisk until smooth and thickened. Pour into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Cool on the counter, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Notes

This pie is much better using freshly squeezed key lime juice. However, regular limes or even bottled key lime juice will work.
