In the bowl of an electric mixer add the egg yolks and lime zest. Beat on high for 5 minutes using the whisk attachment. Mixture will be very thick.

Reduce the mixer speed to low and add in the key lime juice, mix until the juice is combined.
Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, rotating after 5 minutes. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before cutting and serving. Garnish with whipped cream and a slice of lime if desired.
