## 👩🍳 How to Make It
1. **Prepare the crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
2. **Make the filling:** In a bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale. Add sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and zest, mixing until smooth and creamy.
3. **Bake the pie:** Pour filling into cooled crust. Bake for 15 minutes, until the filling is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
4. **Prepare the topping:** Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe over the chilled pie.
5. **Garnish and serve:** Decorate with lime slices or extra zest. Slice and enjoy the refreshing flavors!

## 💡 Tips & Variations
* Use bottled key lime juice if fresh limes aren’t available, but fresh is best for authentic flavor.
* Add a pinch of salt to the crust for enhanced flavor.
* Try a graham cracker crust with a touch of cinnamon for a warm twist.
* For a no-bake version, chill the pie for several hours without baking the filling.
