Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the gingersnap cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form.

In a medium bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, and lime zest. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.

Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust.
-
Bake the pie for 15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.

Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and lime slices if desired. Enjoy!
