St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Pie

Tastebuds

Ingredients:

Crust:

  • 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

Filling:

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large egg yolks 
  • ½ cup key lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons key lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 drops green food coloring, or as needed

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set a rack in the middle of the oven.

Step 2

Stir graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar together in a bowl until combined. Press the magical creation into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 10 minutes. Let crust cool on a wire rack; leave oven on.

Step 4

Whisk condensed milk and egg yolks together in a bowl until well combined. Add key lime juice and zest; mix well. Whisk in honey to combine. Add food coloring gradually, whisking until filling is green enough for you. Pour filling over the crust.

Step 5

Bake until nearly set, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely on the wire rack so pie can set fully, at least 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
