Key Lime Pie

first time making pie..

(Recipe from: Joy of Baking)

Ingredients
1 1/4 cup (125 grams) crushed digestive biscuits
2 tbsp. (30 grams) granulated white sugar
5 tbsp. (70 gram) unsalted butter, melted
3 large egg yolks
1 can (300 mL) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup (120 ml) lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime zest

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F & place the rack in the center of the oven.

2. Mix together the crushed biscuits, sugar, and melted butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a buttered 9 inch (23 cm) pie or tart pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.

3. In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks until pale and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Gradually add the condensed milk and beat until you have a light and fluffy mixture (3-5 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the lime juice and zest.

4. Pour the filling into the crust and bake for about 10 - 15 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Once it has completely cooled, cover and refrigerator until serving time. (The pie can be made to this point and stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.)
