Preheat oven to 375º
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter with your hands. Press the mixture firmly in a 9" pie pan and bake until brown, about 20 mins. Remove from over and allow to cool to room temperature before filling.

Lower oven temperature to 325º

In a separate bowl, combine the condensed milk, lime juice, and eggs. Whisk until well blended and place the filling in the cooled pie shell. Bake for 20-25 mins. and allow to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hrs.

Once chilled, combine the sour cream and powdered sugar and spread over the top of the pie using a spatula. Sprinkle the lime zest as a garnish on top of the sour cream and serve chilled.

Alternate crust: 3 1/2 c. Corn Flakes crushed, 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar, and 4 Tbsp. melted butter. Bake till set, approx. 15 mins. Can use sweetened whipped cream instead of sour cream mixture. It's delicious and easy to make.
