  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Process graham crackers in a food processor; the finer the crumbs, the more the crust will stick together. Transfer to a bowl and mix with melted butter. Press and mold mixture into a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • While the crust is cooling, combine condensed milk and egg yolks in a bowl; whisk until fully blended and no yolks are visible in the mixture. Slowly pour in Key lime juice while stirring until combined. Pour into the cooled crust.
  • Return to the oven and bake until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.
