Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice
- 1 tablespoon key lime zest
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
