That Key Lime Pie... I did it again!

This is the real Key Lime Pie. Nothing green here or a pudding texture.
You should see a pale yellow color that comes from the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk.
This  an easy recipe but don't overbake.

Crust:
16 Honey Maid  Graham Crackers, crushed
2 T sugar
1 stick butter, unsalted, melted

Filling:
5 egg yolks
1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup key lime juice (approximately 16 limes)
2 t grated lime peel

Mix the crust ingredients and pressed into a 9 inch pie pan
Bake in a 350* oven 10 minutes

Beat egg yolks until thickened of a yellowish color
Add condensed milk and mix on low
Mixed in the lime juice slowly
Add lime zest and continue mixing
Pour mixture into pie shell and bake at 350* for 10 to 12 minutes to set pie center
Serve with whipped cream
