KRISTI'S KEY LIME PIE
Steps:
- If using 6 to 8 limes instead of lime juice, put water in blender or food processor, set processor on puree, and with processor running drop lime slices in, one at a time. Key limes are very tough - do not drop in too many at one time. Drop in 8 to 10 slices, maybe more if you have a really powerful blender or processor. Process completely, then pour through strainer into another container. Make sure to press out all of the juice, discard lime remains then pour the lime juice back into blender. Again, drop in lime slices, repeating the above process until you have processed all of the limes. Set aside 1 cup of the resulting lime juice.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Blend key lime juice with the sweetened condensed milk. Add the sour cream. In a separate container, beat the eggs, then add to the key lime mixture and beat for 1 minute. Pour mixture into the graham cracker crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool pie completely, about 1 hour. Top with whipped topping and put in freezer. Freeze at least 3 hours. Serve straight from freezer. Cutting the pie is made easier by wetting a knife in hot water before slicing.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325º. In medium bowl, gently whisk egg yolks. Slowly whisk in sweetened condensed milk. Slowly whisk in key lime juice. *Do not over mix, this will create bubbles. Just whisk and stir gently til all ingredients are mixed together well. Pour into 9" deep dish homemade graham cracker crust. 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 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. ;) **If preferred, you can also bake this pie in a 9" deep dish pastry crust. ***If a green color is desired, just add 2 drops green food coloring. I used to do this, but now I just leave it natural colored.
- 2. Tip: I once used fresh key limes and will never do that again. It took forever and you honestly couldn't even tell the difference from the bottled juice.

LINDA'S RICH KEY LIME PIE
This is a very rich, creamy, and tart dessert. This is one of the many delicious things Linda served us on our visit to"the beach" to see the Buckingham's of Great Bridge. I will always have fond memories when ever I even think about Key Lime Pie. I used one bag of Key Limes, about 20-24 tiny limes. I also used one inner package (9 sheets) of Nabisco original Graham Crackers. I called my sister-in-law to tell her that I had made her pie... I said it was not as good as hers, that I cooked the crust too long, and my limes were not as fresh as they could be. I also told her my poor right thumb was sore from squeezing the limes. She said she saw a key lime squeezer, and that she was going to get some for the two of us.

Tips:
- Use a combination of key lime juice and regular lime juice for a more intense flavor.
- Make sure the key limes are ripe and juicy. Ripe key limes will have a deep yellow color.
- If you don't have key limes, you can substitute regular limes. However, the flavor will be slightly different.
- Use a food processor or blender to make the graham cracker crust. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly mixed and has a fine texture.
- Press the graham cracker crust firmly into the pie plate. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking when you add the filling.
- Chill the pie crust for at least 30 minutes before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Beat the egg yolks and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow. This will help to prevent the filling from curdling.
- Add the key lime juice and zest to the egg yolk mixture slowly, whisking constantly. This will help to prevent the filling from curdling.
- Cook the filling over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the filling from scorching.
- Once the filling has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter. This will help to make the filling smooth and creamy.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
Conclusion:
Key lime pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling and graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to please everyone. If you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this key lime pie recipe a try.
