My DH say's that mine is the best Key Lime Pie he's ever had! I was SO HAPPY!! He used to live in Florida, and said it tastes just like the pie you get down there. (I was very proud and relieved to hear that! I was really nervous to make him one!) Hope you give my recipe a try. It's a wonderful, easy and no-fail recipe! Ingredients:
6 egg yolks |
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk |
1 cup key lime juice, fresh or bottled |
1 (9 ounce) keebler graham cracker crust, 10-inch size |
sweetened whipped cream or cool whip |
lime slices (to garnish, optional) (optional) or kiwi, slices (to garnish, optional) (optional) or fresh strawberries (to garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325ยบ.
2. In medium bowl, gently whisk eggs.
3. Slowly whisk in sweetened condensed milk.
4. Slowly whisk in key lime juice.
5. *Do not over mix, this will create bubbles. Just stir gently til all ingredients are mixed together well.
6. Pop into oven for 40-45 minutes. *My oven takes 44 minutes exactly.
7. The edge of pie will just START to slightly poof up and the edge of pie will also be very SLIGHTLY a pale golden brown. Just very lightly browned. The pie also will no longer jiggle.
8. Let cool. Pie will set up perfectly as it cools.
9. Refrigerate at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
10. Pie gets even better the next day! :).
11. Serve with whipped cream topping.
12. Garnish with slices of key limes, kiwi and/or fanned strawberries if desired.
13. VERY rich and creamy!
14. ***You can save the egg whites and make a meringue top if preffered. But we like the cool, smooth creaminess of sweetened whipped cream much better than meringue. ;).
15. The only other thing I do, is I do add 2 drops green food coloring to the pie for a bit of green color. But this is totally up to you!
16. *If preferred, you can also bake this pie in a 9 deep dish pastry crust.
