Of course! This is a delicious recipe for Key Lime Pie made with strawberries
### Ingredients:
#### For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
#### For the filling:
- 3 large egg yolks
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice
- Zest of 2 key limes
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
#### For the topping (optional):
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Additional sliced strawberries for garnish
### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
5. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
6. Gradually add the key lime juice to the egg mixture, whisking continuously until smooth and slightly thickened. Stir in the lime zest.
7. Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust.
8. Pour the key lime filling over the sliced strawberries, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
9. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
10. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
11. If desired, prepare the whipped cream topping just before serving. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream onto the chilled pie.
12. Garnish the pie with additional sliced strawberries before serving, if desired. Enjoy the delightful combination of tangy key lime custard and sweet strawberries in every blissful bite!
