- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted

- 1/2 cup Key Lime juice (fresh or bottled, most grocery stores carry bottled Key Lime juice next to the lemon juice)
- Cool Whip for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and butter.
- Press onto the bottom and up the side of a 9″ pie pan or springform pan.

- In a mixing bowl, beat together sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and Key Lime juice on low for 2 minutes or until smooth.
- Pour into crust.

- Top each slice with Cool Whip when serving.
Notes
Once you taste my homemade graham cracker crust, you’ll never go back to store bought again, but if you’re in a hurry, you can use a store bought graham cracker crust.
