Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the filling: Whisk eggs, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Stir in coconut flakes.
