Key Lime Pie
Makes one 9-inch pie

CRUST
6 ounces (170g) graham crackers
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon Morton kosher salt

FILLING
1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
5 large egg yolks
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
¾ cup fresh lime juice, strained
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

TOPPING AND ASSEMBLY
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
More fresh lime zest, for serving

PREHEAT THE OVEN: Arrange an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F.

MAKE THE CRUST: Place the graham crackers in a resealable bag, press out the air, and seal. Use a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed saucepan to crush the crackers, periodically shaking the bag so the larger pieces settle to one side, and continue to crush until you have very fine, uniform crumbs. (You can also pulse them in a food processor until finely ground, but it’s very doable by hand.) Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and add the melted butter, granulated sugar, yolk, and salt. Toss with a fork until the mixture is well combined, then rub the mixture with your fingertips until it looks like wet sand.

PRESS IN THE CRUST AND BAKE: Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate and scatter the crumbs evenly across the bottom. Use a straight-sided glass or 1-cup dry measure to very firmly press the mixture up the sides of the plate and across the bottom, flattening it into an even layer. Place the plate on a sheet pan and bake until the crust is fragrant, firm to the touch, and dark brown around the edges, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.

REDUCE THE OVEN TEMP: Turn the oven down to 325°F.

MAKE THE FILLING AND BAKE: In a medium bowl, combine the zest, yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, salt, and vanilla and whisk until completely smooth. Pour the filling into the pie plate and smooth the surface. Transfer the pie back to the oven and bake until the filling is set and just a little wobbly in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill until cold, at least 2 hours.

MAKE THE TOPPING: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar and work the mixture with a flexible spatula until the sugar is completely incorporated and the cream cheese is smooth. Switch to a whisk and slowly dribble in a couple of tablespoons of the cold cream, whisking to incorporate. Continue to slowly add the cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, until you have a thick, smooth mixture, then whisk vigorously until you have a softly whipped cream that forms medium peaks. Remove the pie from the refrigerator and scrape the whipped cream onto the surface, spreading it nearly to the edges. Return to the fridge and chill just until the topping is set, at least 15 minutes.

SERVE: Top the pie with fresh lime zest, cut into slices, and serve.

DO AHEAD: The pie can be baked and chilled (without the topping) 1 day ahead. When it’s cold, cover loosely with plastic wrap, then top within a couple of hours of serving. Any leftover pie will keep, covered with plastic, for several days in the refrigerator (the crust will soften over time).

I love the whimsical nature of this episode - from Claire teleporting into spot after helping Archie with his quest to Harris's transforming shirt. This is great.

Harris is such a mood, I'm sure he's just doing home things in a typical old stained Tshirt, but always gets asked to come into camera. The color changing was hilarious.

I really like how Claire is always conscious of not making it too sweet. Sweet is good, sure, but it has to be in balance. And it's real easy to make things too sweet.

I don't know if anyone ever mentions it, but I always love the sound effects when Claire places things into the sink.

Made a double batch of this and it turned out amazing. Just the right amount of tart, and the guests ate every last crumb! None of us had ever had key lime pie before (not a thing here in Norway sadly), so we were all really hyped to taste it. Did NOT disappoint. Thank you so much!

Hi Claire, I just made “key lime pie according to Claire Saffits” and it turned out the best ever, according to my children all of whom are adults with incurable sweet tooth. They were raving about it all night and requested pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving so that’s what I’m making. Thank you for sharing your magic in baking with us. It is definitely a rich ingredient in our lives!

I’m happy to know I’m not the only one who has kitties that get up on our counters. Claire is my baking muse! My husband teases me anytime I make something new by saying, did Claire just release a new video from Dessert Person?

Thanks for the two tips on adding an egg yolk to the crust and something like sour cream or cream cheese to the whipping cream. These are life improving tips to the home baker.

Love the pie, the striped blouse, the tiny rattle of the cat ball bouncing on the floor, and Harris's changing shirt color. A++.

I can’t even explain the happiness I feel seeing this episode, key lime pie is my all-time favourite dessert and seeing your rendition of it just makes me feel so happy!!

When fresh key limes are not available I use Nellie and Joe’s key lime juice but I would never personally use a Persian lime in a key lime pie, but of course I am a Floridian so it’s more important to me than others. I am interested in trying Claire’s topping… it looks like a yummy addition.

Thumbs up because this video actually shows you what an oven-set pie looks like. Thanks you!

The editing choices (lil sound effects, teleporting Claire, Harris’s shirt changing colors) make me feel like this whole thing is a bunch of kids lovingly running a channel for their mom who doesn’t actually care how they put it together, she’s just happy they’re getting along

For some reason, custard-based desserts are so intimidating to me but this looks DIVINE and so easy. Definitely going to attempt it before the summer is over!

If only Claire knew how much I love watching her cook! She has inspired me so much and also got me through the pandemic and taught me so much!

I was having a tough day mentally and this recipe got me out of the house to get the ingredients. It's delicious! The tangy whipped cream was delightful. Thank you!
