Ingredients: 

For the crust:
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) Graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup (125 ml) butter, melted
2 Tbs (30 ml) sugar
2 tsp (10 ml) ground cinnamon, preferably Mexican canela

For the filling:
4 egg yolks
2 Tbs (30 ml) grated lime zest
2 14-oz (395 g) cans sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup (180 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
Whipped cream for garnish
Thinly sliced lime for garnish

Combine the ingredients for the crust in a bowl and stir with a fork to combine. Press into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate or springform pan. Set aside. Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl. Add the sweetened condensed milk and lime juice and whisk to combine. Pour into the prepared pie shell and bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven until the center is set, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream and thin slices of lime for garnish. Serves 6 to 8.
