Ingredients
For the Pie Crust:
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (4 whole graham crackers crushed!)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Lime Curd Filling:
2 large egg yolks
7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
Zest of 1 lime
1/3 cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
For the Chocolate Topping:
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons neutral oil (or coconut oil, for great results!)
Instructions
To make the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 6″ pie pan; set aside.
In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter; stir until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the pie pan, ensuring it is tightly packed and pressed up the sides. Bake on a baking sheet for 9-10 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool.
To make the Lime Curd Filling:
In a stand mixer or using a handheld mixer, beat the egg yolks and condensed milk until light and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add lime zest and key lime juice; beat until fully combined. Pour into the cooled crust and freeze for 24 hours.
For the Chocolate Topping:
Melt the chocolate with oil in a double boiler over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Remove when almost melted and continue to whisk until smooth. Cool for 5 minutes.
To coat the pie, insert a wooden popsicle stick into each piece, dip into the chocolate, quickly flip, and spoon chocolate over the crust. Freeze until the chocolate sets.
