Ingredients:

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs  
• 3 tbsp sugar  
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 3 eggs  
• 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk  
• 1/2 cup key lime juice  
• Pinch cream of tartar  
• Pinch salt
• 1 cup whipping cream  
• 1 lime

Method

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch pie plate and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Separate 2 of the eggs, placing egg whites in a mixing bowl. Reserve the yolks in another bowl. To the yolks, add one whole egg, the sweetened condensed milk, and key lime juice. Mix well. With clean mixer blades, beat the egg whites until stiff, but not dry, adding salt and cream of tarter after about 20 seconds. Fold whites into filling mixture. Pour filling into the graham crust. Bake pie for 10 to 15 minutes or until set. Let cool at room temperature, then freeze 4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, whip cream to form stiff peaks. Serve pie decorated with whipped cream and lime slices.
