Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the Crust

Press into Pan

Pre-Bake Crust
Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven.
Mix Filling
In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, and lime zest until smooth.
Filling Check
The mixture should be creamy and slightly thickened.
Pour into Crust
Pour the filling into the warm crust, spreading evenly.
Bake
Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly.
