The Greatest Super Easy Key Lime Pie Ever

When somebody says, "Bake a pie," your natural response is "Urgh, pies are too much work!" Well what if you found a recipe for a pie that isn't "too much work." What if the next time someone says, "Bake a pie," your response is, "Ok, be back in 5." We're giving you that opportunity.

Ingredients:

Pie Filling:

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Topping:
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups graham crackers (1 pkg from a box of them)
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Directions:
  • First, to make the crust, take the graham crackers and put them in a gallon-size ziploc bag.
  •  You might want to put two ziploc bags over the graham crackers to minimize leaking. Then, take a medium frying pan and begin whacking the graham crackers until they are crushed to a coarse consistency. 
  • Once the graham crackers are crushed, pour them into a medium sized bowl. Melt the butter for  one minute and combine it with the bread crumbs. Stir well. If the mixture is slightly moist, then you have enough butter. If it is dry, add more butter by the tablespoon until it is the right texture.
  • Now, take 1/4 cup out of this mixture and set it aside. Then pour the rest of the graham crackers into an un-greased pie pan. 
  • Press the crust until it is about 1/4 of an inch deep and is almost all the way up the sides of the pan. Set this aside.
  • In an electric mixer, combine the sweetened condensed milk, the sour cream, and the lime juice. Beat well.
  • Pour this mixture into the prepared crust, and evenly spread.
  •  
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the filling is slightly firm. DO NOT FREEZE.
  • Once the filling is almost ready, Prepare the topping by beating the sour cream and sugar together until well combined.
  • Take the pie out of the refrigerator and gently scrape the topping onto the pie. Spread it around with a rubber spatula until even.
  • Take the 1/4 cup of graham crackers that you set aside earlier and gently sprinkle it onto the pie until it looks as pretty as you want. 

  • Put the pie back in the fridge for about an hour until slightly firm once again.
  • Your pie is ready!
    Eat and ENJOY!!!
