KEY LIME PIE - NO CONDENSED MILK, REGULAR PIE CRUST, MERINGUE.
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks and set the whites aside. Combine the 1 cup white sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Gradually stir in the water. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Very, very important, do not undercook! Gradually stir the cooked sugar mixture into the beaten egg yolks, beating constantly. Return the mixture to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, lime juice and lime zest. Let mixture cool slightly.
- 2. Beat egg whites until light and frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining 6 tablespoons white sugar and beat until the meringue is stiff and glossy.
- 3. Pour the lime filling into the prepared pie shell. Then pile the meringue on top, spreading it until it touches the edges of the pastry to prevent the meringue from shrinking. Bake pie at 425 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes or until meringue top is golden brown.
AUTHENTIC KEY LIME PIE
I am a Florida native who raised Key lime trees in the back yard. This recipe is as authentic as it gets. A real Key lime pie is plain, simple. This is the recipe I grew up with. I hope you like it.

- Bake in the preheated oven until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate before serving, 5 hours to overnight.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh key limes. Bottled key lime juice can be used, but the flavor will not be as pronounced.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the zest of the key limes by hand. Be sure to grate only the green part of the zest, as the white pith is bitter.
- When making the filling, be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling when they are added to the hot lime juice.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue by placing the pie under the broiler for a few minutes. Be sure to watch it closely so that the meringue doesn't burn.
Conclusion:
This key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, tart filling and fluffy meringue topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this key lime pie a try.
