Prepare the Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350?F (175?C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Make the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Prepare the Topping
- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie before serving.
