📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. For the crust: Combine the graham crackers and granulated sugar in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Pour in the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are well coated and stick together when pinched. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until just set, about ⏱️ 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, about ⏱️ 10 minutes.

For the filling: Whisk the egg yolks, condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the filling into the crust and bake until the center is set but still slightly jiggly, about ⏱️ 15 minutes. Let cool for ⏱️ 30 minutes, then refrigerate until chilled, at least ⏱️ 1 hour.
