Posted on by
For Crust
  • 1 cup graham crackers or vanilla cookies
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
For Key Lime Filling
  • 3 egg yolks large
  • 2/3 cup key lime juice (approx 8-9 key limes)
  • 1 tablespoon key lime zest (approx) 2-3 key limes
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (omit if you like it super tangy)
Topping (optional)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon key lime zest for garnish optional
Instructions

  1. Spray a 7″ springform pan with nonstick spray

  2. ground the crackers in the food processor

  3. In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter

  4. Press this mixture into the bottom and sides of the springform pan. Freeze while making the filling

  5. Place the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. Using a mixer on medium-high speed, mix until the yolks turn pale yellow and thicken (about 2-3 minutes)

  6. Add the condensed milk and keep mixing. Add the key lime juice and zest. Mix until combined

  7. Pour this mixture on top of the prepared crust

  8. Cover the springform pan with aluminum foil

  9. Make a sling with aluminum foil: Break a long piece of foil and fold into 3. The idea is to get a long thin rectangle (helps remove the pie from the instant pot quicker)

  10. Pour 1 cup of water in the instant pot. Place trivet on top

  11. Put the sling in and place the pie on top. Cover with lid and lock in place

  12. Cook on manual high pressure for 15 minutes (15 MHP)

  13. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before releasing the pressure (10 NPR)

  14. Remove the pie from the instant pot using the sling and cool and remove the aluminum foil cover. Center should be a bit jiggly

  15. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until set

  16. For Topping: Whip cream and slowly add the sugar until the cream becomes stiff. Pipe on top of pie and decorate with zest

  17. Enjoy!
