  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Leave the oven turned on, and let the crust cool as you make the filling.

Pie Filling

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth.
  • Pour the batter over the crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. It should look somewhat set but still have a wobble to it.
