Key Lime Pie

I've been making this recipe for years and can't remember the origin. It serves 8 and is a crowd-pleaser! The lime packs a punch so feel free to serve sparingly. You can also add a dash of rum to the filling.

Crust:
1/3 cup melted margarine
1.5 cups crushed graham crackers (1 sleeve)
1/4 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350. Coat 9" pie dish w/ margarine. Combine ingredients and press into the bottom and sides of the dish. Bake 10 minutes, let cool.

Filling:
Two 14-oz cans sweetened condensed milk
5 egg yolks
Grated zest of 1 lime
1 cup lime juice

Whisk ingredients together then pour into crust. Bake 10 min. Cool to room temp.

In a very unlike-me move, I also seem to have written down the nutrition information for this recipe. If you cut your key lime pie into 8 servings, each serving includes:
