Key Lime Pie

The tart taste of Florida

Yield: Makes one 9-inch pie

Ingredients

Crust:
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
1/3 cup melted butter, or unsalted margarine
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Filling:
2 cans (14 oz.) condensed milk
1 cup key lime juice
5 egg yolks
Garnish:
Zest of 4 key limes
1 pint heavy cream, whipped OR frozen whipped topping

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To prepare the crust, mix together graham crackers, melted butter and sugar. Make crust by evenly spreading graham mixture to cover the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Insert an 8-inch pie plate on top of crumbs pressing together firmly. Bake for about 8 minutes, then cool.

To prepare the filling, combine condensed milk, key lime juice and egg yolks. Use a wire whip to blend well and pour into the baked crust. Bake for another 8 minutes. Freeze for 1 hour before serving. Serve with huge dollops of whipped cream and sprinkle with key lime zest. Refrigerate any leftovers.
