Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Crush graham crackers in a food processor or place in a zip top plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix crumbs with melted butter and sugar. Press on bottom and sides of a 9.5-inch deep-dish pie pan.
- Place in oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool while you make key lime filling.
- In a bowl large enough to hold all ingredients, combine sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, egg yolks, egg, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix until blended.
- Pour mixture on top graham cracker pie crust and place in oven for about 15-18 minutes. Time will vary based on pie pan material. Bake until center of filling no longer trembles. Remove from oven and cool in the refrigerator.
- Just before serving, prepare meringue. Place egg whites and sugar in a heat-proof bowl and place on top of a saucepan with simmering water. Whisk over low simmering water until very warm or meringue reaches 145°F. Remove from heat and whip until stiff peaks form, about 5-8 minutes. Add salt and vanilla extract.
