Ingredients

• 1 Cup graham cracker crumbs
• 3 Tablespoons white sugar
• 5 Tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 Large eggs
• 0.5 Cup key lime juice
• 1 14 Ounces can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 Pinch salt
• 1 Pinch cream of tartar
• 1 Cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 Whole lime, sliced

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs with white sugar and melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
2. Separate 2 of the eggs, placing the two egg whites into a mixing bowl. Reserve the yolks in another bowl.
3. To the yolks, add one whole egg, key lime juice, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until smooth. With clean mixer blades or a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and cream of tartar until stiff, but not dry. Fold the whites into the filling mixture. Pour the filling into the partially baked crust.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until set. Let cool at room temperature, then freeze for 4 hours to overnight. Just before serving, whip the cream to form stiff peaks. Serve decorated with whipped cream and lime slices.
