For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Next, in a saucepan, combine the lime juice, lime zest, sugar, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, microwave the gelatin mixture for 10 seconds or until it is completely dissolved. Add the gelatin mixture to the lime mixture and stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Once the pie is set, garnish with additional lime zest or whipped cream if desired. The Lime Mousse Pie is now ready to be served and enjoyed!
