Make the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, going up the sides about 1 inch. Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool completely.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks until smooth. Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk, then gradually whisk in the key lime juice and zest until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
Bake: Bake for 15 minutes, then let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Whip the Cream: In a bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
Serve: Garnish with additional key lime zest if desired. Slice and enjoy your tangy and refreshing key lime pie!
