    here's one more you may be able to work with and modify for your recipe:
    by the way, here is the website for the "king" of the key lime pies (the blond giraff) but their recipe is nowhere to be found. http://www.blondgiraffe.com/

    this one looks like a good runner up:

    Luxury Oceanfront Victorian
    Key Largo, Florida
    Heritage Recipe
    Traditional Key Lime Pie

    Ingredients for Crust:
    1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup margarine or butter

    Filling:
    One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
    4 egg yolks
    1/2 to 3/4 cup key lime juice (do not use persian lime juice)
    whipped cream (fresh)
    garnish with sliced key lime

    Heat oven to 325 degrees. In medium bowl, mix together sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Melt butter or margarine and blend well with sugar and crumbs. Press into 9-inch pie pan. Bake 6 to 8 minutes.

    In another medium bowl, combine milk and egg yolks with an electric mixer on low speed. Add key lime juice. Mix until thick. Pour into prepared crust and put in refrigerator overnight. Top with whipped cream and garnish.
