Hello all,
One dessert we love making here in Florida is scrumptious Key Lime Pie. You can get many variations of the recipe. Many people even grow the delicious key limes in their own yards. I ran across one that sounds both delicious and easy to make on epicurious.com. Give it a try and enjoy:
INGREDIENTS:
For crust-
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp sugar
5 tbsp melted butter
For filling-
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp fresh or bottled key lime juice
For topping-
3/4 cup heavy chilled cream
DIRECTIONS:
For crust-
Preheat oven to 350*
Stir together graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar in a 9 inch pie plate, Mix well and press mixture evenly on the bottom and up the sides.
Bake crust in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes then remove and let cool. Keep oven on.
Make filling and bake the pie-
Whisk together eggs yolks and condensed milk in a bowl. Add juice and whisk till slightly thickened. Pour filling into crust and bake in middle of the oven for 15 minutes. Cool pie completely then chill for 8 hours. Filling will set as it cools.
Make topping-
Just before serving beat the cream in a bowl with an electric mixer till it holds stiff peaks. Top pie with cream and serve. Enjoy!

Ooh! I love key lime pie! And so does my husband. Now I have a great recipe for it! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteKey lime pie is my all time favorite! I have never made one, but I should!!
ReplyDeleteI am a native South Floridian and one of my top pinned and visited recipes on the blog is for my Labor of Love Key Lime Pie. It is one of my favorites. I do the crust a little differently... I use Nila wafers - try it! :) I also fresh squeeze my key limes. And thank you for making sure to put KEY lime juice, and NOT lime! YUCK, nothing I dislike more than lime pie trying to be passed off as key lime!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! As a Florida girl myself, I love a good key lime pie!
ReplyDeleteKey lime pie is one of my husbands favorites. I love the light fresh taste that it has too. Thanks for sharing such a great looking recipe!

ReplyDeleteI was actually just looking to making something with limes two days ago. Mainly because they're green for St. Patrick's Day. I don't have the luxury of growing my own, sadly, but I sure wish I could get some fresh ones from up your way! This sounds and looks delicious!
