Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 c graham crackers, crushed (about 20 sq)
1/3 c butter, softened (rm temp)
1/4 c cane sugar
PIE FILLING
4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
2/3 c lime juice, fresh
few drops of green food coloring
TOPPING
1 c heavy whipping cream
3 Tbsp sugar superfine
LIME ZEST AND LIME SLICES FOR GARNISH

Steps:

  • 1. Graham Crust: Preheat oven to 350* 9" Pie Plate Lightly spray pie plate with butter spray. Blend crumbs, butter, and sugar in a bowl. Spoon into pie plate and, using wax paper press firmly against sides and bottom (not over rim). Bake 8-10 min Let cool before filling.
  • 2. Filling: While the crust is cooling start your filling. Beat yolks with condensed milk just to blend, add lime juice and beat until smooth (filling will be soft). Tint pale green and pour into graham shell. Chill 2 hourx
  • 3. Whipping Cream: Heavy cream, in large bowl, put in sugar (you might want to put a towel over the mixer) becareful not to get it twisted in the mixer. Put the setting on high, till you have stiff peaks.
  • 4. Pull pie out of frig and spread whip cream over the top of the pie garnish with lime zest. Put back into frig for several hours before serving or better yet overnightso the filling is somewhat firm, (it will never really be completely firm) Serve with lime slices, you may want to sprinkle a bit of suger on the limes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh key limes. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before you start baking. This will help them mix together smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the egg yolks. Overbeating can make the filling curdle.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Overbaking can make the filling tough.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
