Steps

Heat the oven to 350°F. Mix crumbs, butter and sugar, press into a 9-inch pie plate and bake 10 minutes.

Whisk condensed milk, yolks, lime juice and zest until smooth. Pour into the crust.

Bake 15 minutes until set at the edges. Cool, then chill 4 hours.

Whip cream with powdered sugar and top each slice.

TipFresh lime juice only; bottled juice tastes flat in a filling with so few ingredients.
