1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.

3. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish, forming the crust.

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 while you prepare the filling.

5. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and well combined.

6. Gradually whisk in the key lime juice and lime zest until the mixture is smooth and thickened.

7. Pour the key lime filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.

8. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the centre.

9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled and set.

10. Optional: Before serving, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Garnish with lime slices or zest, if desired.

11. Slice and serve the key lime pie cold, enjoying the zesty and creamy flavours with each delightful bite.
