My Favorite Key Lime Pie Recipe | Home Movies with Alison Roman

sweetened condensed milk

🥗Healthier: coconut milk + sugar

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk + sugar

Coconut milk offers a lighter option while maintaining sweetness.

key lime juice

🥗Healthier: regular lime juice

💰Cheaper: bottled lime juice

Regular lime juice is more accessible and less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds flavor and is dairy-free.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cool whip

Greek yogurt reduces calories while adding creaminess.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Smash 9 graham crackers in a bag until there are no large lumps.

In a bowl, combine smashed graham crackers with 1 tablespoon sugar and 3/4 teaspoon salt.

Melt 6 tablespoons of butter and 6 tablespoons of coconut oil together, then measure again to ensure accuracy.

Spray a 9-inch glass pie dish with non-stick spray.

Mix the melted butter and coconut oil into the graham cracker mixture until it feels like wet sand.

Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and sides of the pie dish, ensuring the edges are reinforced and the bottom is not too thick.

Use a measuring cup to pack the crust evenly and flat.

Parbake the crust in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until it's set but not browned.

While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by whisking together 4 egg yolks, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and the juice of regular limes.
