Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar; mix well.  Press into 9″ pie plate.  Bake in 375 degree oven for 12 minutes, until lightly browned.  Remove from oven; let cool.  Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.

For Filling:

  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

In bowl, whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice and zest.  Pour into prepared cooled crust.  Bake in 325 degree oven for 17 to 20 minutes, just until center is set.  Let cool completely.
