Ingredients:  
Graham Cracker Crust:

3/4 pound graham crackers
4 tbsp. granulated sugar
2 sticks melted butter
1/4 tsp. sea salt

Filling:

4 egg yolks
1 can (14 ounces) condensed milk
2/3 cup fresh key lime juice

Directions:
Directions:
To make crust: preheat oven to 325

Break up the graham crackers, place in food processor and process to crumbs. Add melted butter, sugar, and salt and pulse until combined. Press mixture into the bottom of 9 inch pie pan, forming an even layer on bottom and sides. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool

To make filling: While the crust is resting, in an electric mixer with wire whisk attachment, whip egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until fluffy, or 5 to 6 minutes. Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to whip until thick, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice until incorporated.

Pour mixture into crust and bake for 15 minutes or until the filling has just set. Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes and then refrigerate for 20 minutes

To make topping: Whip the cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla until nearly stiff. Evenly spread on top of pie, and place in the freezer for 20 minutes prior to serving.

Just before serving, grate white chocolate on top of pie.

Personal Notes:
This pie was fairly easy and YUMMY! I made it for Christmas eve. I went the lazy route and bought my graham cracker crust. I was also able to find bottled Key lime juice instead of doing the fresh squeezed version.
