KEY LIME PIE



Key Lime Pie image

Made with ordinary limes, this "Key lime" pie tastes every bit as authentic as the real deal -- plus it's easier to make.

Categories     Desserts

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1½ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs, from about 12 whole graham crackers
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Two 14-oz cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk)
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
¾ cup fresh lime juice
1 cup cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
8 to 10 thin lime slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 °F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter; stir with a fork first, and then your hands until the mixture is well combined. Using your fingers and the bottom of a glass or dry measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 x 1.5-inch (deep-dish) pie pan. The crust should be about ¼-inch thick. (Tip: do the sides first.)
  • Bake for 10 minutes, until just slightly browned. Let the crust cool on a wire rack.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, yogurt, lime zest, and lime juice. Pour the thick mixture into the warm graham cracker crust. Bake for 15 minutes, until the filling is almost set; it should wobble a bit. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly, about 3 hours.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until medium peaks form. Top the pie with the whipped cream. Decorate with the lime zest and lime slices. Store the pie in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Slice the pie into wedges, wiping your knife clean between slices, and serve cold.
  • Make-Ahead Instructions: You can make the crust a day ahead of time, but the filling should be added on the day of serving, otherwise the crust will get soggy.
  • Note: The nutritional information was calculated using 2% Greek yogurt.

KEY LIME PIE



Key Lime Pie image

This is the frozen key lime pie that ends up all over Jack Nicholson's face in the film adaptation of the novel "Heartburn," Nora Ephron's thinly veiled recounting of her disastrous marriage to Carl Bernstein. It is very easy to make, and the large amount of key lime juice guarantees a tart, impressive flavor. We recommend eating it, though, not using it as a weapon.

5-INGREDIENT KEY LIME PIE



5-Ingredient Key Lime Pie image

A simple 5-ingredient Key lime pie I've been eating my whole life in south Florida.

Provided by Logan Fleming

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

⅓ (14.4 ounce) package graham crackers, broken into quarters
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 large egg yolks
½ cup Key lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Process graham crackers in a food processor; the finer the crumbs, the more the crust will stick together. Transfer to a bowl and mix with melted butter. Press and mold mixture into a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • While the crust is cooling, combine condensed milk and egg yolks in a bowl; whisk until fully blended and no yolks are visible in the mixture. Slowly pour in Key lime juice while stirring until combined. Pour into the cooled crust.
  • Return to the oven and bake until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.

Tips for Making the Best 5-Minute Key Lime Pie:

  • Use fresh key limes. Key limes have a unique flavor that is essential for this pie. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese. Overbeating the cream cheese will make it lumpy. Just beat it until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Use a graham cracker crust that is at least 9 inches in diameter. A smaller crust will not be able to hold all of the filling.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch to the pie.

Conclusion:

This 5-Minute Key Lime Pie is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in just minutes. The pie is creamy, tart, and refreshing, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
