05 Step

Garnish with lime zest or additional whipped cream just before serving, if desired.
For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed Key lime juice. If using regular lime juice, add a pinch of lime zest to enhance the citrus notes.
To make your own graham cracker crust, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Press into a pie plate and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes before filling.
For a more intense lime flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of lime extract to the filling.
If you don't have whipped topping, you can whip 2 cups of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
