Way TOO easy key lime pie!

So I am not kidding you when I say this is SUCH an easy recipe.
But more importantly it tastes absolute amazing.
No joke.
So here is the recipe for anyone looking for a way good summer treat!

5 egg whites beaten
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup keylime juice (It takes about 3-4 limes depending on size)
1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust either homemade or store bought
1-2 teaspoons of lime zest (I would probably say 1 1/2, it just depends how limey you want it!)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Separate the egg whites and beat them like crazy. They will be quite fluffy by the time you are done. Next add the 1/2 cup of lime juice, the sweetened condensed milk, and the lime zest. Mix until combined and then transfer to the crust. Bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes. You want the fork to come out clean but the consistency should be kind of like a cheesecake.
Let cool. I put mine in the refrigerator. When it is cool or when you are ready to eat it put whipped cream on it and you could top it with some sliced limes just to make it pretty. But what's the point of making it too pretty if it is just going to get eaten in 5 minutes!
