1 can of sweetened condensed milk.
02 -
8 tablespoons of melted butter.
03 -
1 1/4 cups of crushed graham crackers.
04 -
1 tablespoon of regular sugar.

# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on your oven and set it to 350°F.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture feels damp.
03 -
Press the crumb mix into a glass pie dish, pushing it across the bottom and up the sides evenly. Bake for 8 minutes so it turns a light golden color.
04 -
While the crust bakes, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice, and zest all together in a bowl.
05 -
Take the crust out of the oven, pour in the filling, smooth the surface, and bake for around 15–20 minutes until it sets.
06 -
Let the pie cool off entirely before covering it and putting it in the fridge.
07 -
Slice the pie into eight portions and, if you want, put some whipped cream on top before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure the pie is fully cool before placing it in the fridge.
