1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup (120ml) key lime juice
1 tbsp key lime zest
Instructions

Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Mix the crust ingredients and press into a 9-inch pie plate.

Bake the crust 8 minutes, then cool slightly while you make the filling.

Slowly whisk in the key lime juice until smooth and slightly thickened.
5
Pour the filling into the crust and bake 15 minutes, until the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
