Take 13 Graham crackers and crush them up. Add 1/8 cup of sugar and 4 tbsp of melted butter and mix it up. This is you Graham cracker crust. Form it to to an 8 or 9 inch pie dish and use the bottom of a flat glass to pack it down to form the bottom (and sides) of your dish bake on 350 for 8 minutes, remove, and cool. In a mixing bowl mix 3 egg yolks a 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk and a 1/2 cup of key lime juice (limes will work too but you might wanna reduce the amount a hair). In a separate bowl whisk your saved egg whites into a meringue with stiff peaks and fold it in to your pie mixture. Pour it into your cooled Graham cracker pie crust. Bake on 350 for 15 minutes and cool for 4 hours or overnight. When ready to serve whisk up a cup of heavy cream and an 1/8 cup of sugar (to make whipped cream topping). Apply your whipped topping and top with ever so little lime zest and garnish with thin lime wedges.
bon appetit
