- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the crust, combine ingredients and pat down into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine the milk, lime juice, and 1 tsp. lime zest; blend in the egg yolks. Pour the filling into the crust.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
