Instructions
1. Make the crust
buy it.

Whisk egg yolks until slightly thickened and pale (about 2 minutes).
Add condensed milk and whisk until smooth.
Stir in lime juice and zest. It will thicken naturally.

3. Bake
Pour filling into the crust.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, just until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
