OH SO CREAMY AND FLUFFY KEY LIME PIE
We recently went to the Gaylord Texan Hotel over Christmas and had a slice of heaven in the form of a key lime pie delivered to our room. It wasn't to tart or to sweet and was oh so creamy. I was trying to recreate it for my DH birthday and hopefully got pretty close. He liked it - asked me to put some back so it wasn't totally eaten up by the family :). I also made some key lime sauce from debloves2cook recipe #166790 and put it on the plate as part of the presentation. Gave each plate a great look as well as a little lime kick. Cook time is refridgeration time. See the bottom of the instructions for a gluten free pie crust variation.

Steps:
- CRUST:.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine all the ingredients and then press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9" glass pie plate.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Turn the oven down to 300.
- *~OR Use a store bought deep dish graham cracker crust~*.
- FILLING:.
- Meanwhile, whisk cream cheese, condensed milk, egg yolks and lime juice to combine.
- In a seperate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks begin to form. (When you lift up the beaters, the peaks should hold and still look glossy).
- Fold into the cream cheese/lime mixture until just combined. Don't over mix - this is what gives the pie it's fluffy texture.
- Pour into the cooled pie crust and bake for 25 minutes or until set. Pie will be solid with just a little wiggle in the middle when moved.
- Remove from oven. Cool and refridgerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
- TO SERVE:
- Garnish with whipped cream or cool whip and a little key lime sauce from debloves2cook recipe #166790.
- GF VARIATION:
- Mix 1 1/2 cups crushed gluten free chocolate chex and 5 tablespoons melted butter for the crust (Don't need to add any extra sugar because the chex is already sweetened.)
- Continue with directions above.

KELLY'S RICH AND CREAMY KEY LIME PIE
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!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325º.
- In medium bowl, gently whisk eggs.
- Slowly whisk in sweetened condensed milk.
- Slowly whisk in key lime juice.
- *Do not over mix, this will create bubbles. Just stir gently til all ingredients are mixed together well.
- Pop into oven for 40-45 minutes. *My oven takes 44 minutes exactly.
- 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.
- Let cool. Pie will set up perfectly as it cools.
- Refrigerate at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Pie gets even better the next day! :).
- Serve with whipped cream topping.
- Garnish with slices of key limes, kiwi and/or fanned strawberries if desired.
- VERY rich and creamy!
- ***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. ;).
- 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!
- *If preferred, you can also bake this pie in a 9" deep dish pastry crust.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place pie crust, in pie pan, on a baking sheet.
- Place cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, egg, egg yolks, key lime juice and sugar in Master Prep Pitcher. Secure top and pulse for 15-20 seconds, until creamy and well combined.
- Pour pie filling into crust and shake crust to settle. Bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 1 hour before refrigerating for at least 2 hours. Served chilled, topped with whipped cream and a slice of fresh key lime.
- NOTE: Prep time is less than a minute, Zaar would not let me put in seconds.
Tips:
- Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before you start making the filling. This will help it mix smoothly and evenly.
- Don't overbeat the filling. Overbeating can cause the filling to become too thick and dense.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This creamy key lime pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to please everyone at the table.
