Crust

11 graham cracker squares crushed fine
6 tablespoons melted butter
One third cup sugar
One quarter cup of lightly toasted shredded coconut

Blend the above and press into a pie plate and pop in a 350 degree oven for 7 or 8 minutes to firm up the crust. Then set aside while preparing the filling.

Filling

Three quarter cup key lime juice.
One and one half cans (14 oz size) sweet and condensed milk
Three egg yolks
Zest from one persian (common green lime)

Mix above with mixer till completely blended, smooth, and somewhat thickened (at least several minutes)

Pour the mixture in the graham cracker crust then bake in the 350 degree oven 15 to 18 minutes, (till filling firms up)

When pie has cooled to near room temperature pit in refrigerator for at least 3 hours to firm up before cutting. Add whip cream, serve and enjoy.
Sounds great but I don't own a mixer. That's also a LOT of butter for a single graham cracker pie crust.
