Gordon Ramsay’s Key Lime Pie is a no-fuss dessert made with a buttery biscuit crust and a silky lime filling using sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and freshly squeezed key lime juice. The pie is baked just until set and served chilled with whipped cream and lime zest for a refreshing finish.

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1½ cups (150g) digestive or graham cracker crumbs

  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar

  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 3 large egg yolks

  • 1 can (14 oz / 400g) sweetened condensed milk

  • ½ cup (120ml) fresh key lime juice (or regular lime juice if unavailable)

  • 1 tablespoon lime zest

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For topping:

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Extra lime zest or thin slices for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Make the crust: In a bowl, combine crushed biscuits, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

  • Press into pan: Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or measuring cup to even it out.

  • Bake the crust: Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.

  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lime zest until slightly thickened (about 1–2 minutes). Add sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.

  • Pour and bake: Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and spread evenly. Bake for 12–15 minutes, just until the center is set but slightly wobbly.

  • Cool and chill: Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  • Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

  • Decorate and serve: Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and garnish with lime zest or slices before serving.
