Provided by á-2421

Number Of Ingredients 14

Graham Cracker Crust
3/4 pound graham crackers (1 3/4 cups crumbs)
4 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 sticks melted butter (1/2 cup)
1/4 tsp sea salt
Filling
4 egg yolks
1 can (14 oz) condensed milk
2/3 cup fresh Key lime juice
1 lime, grated zest
Topping
1 cup whipping cream, chiloled
2 Tbsp confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • To make crust, preheat oven to 325. Mix crumbs, sugar, salt and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan, forming and even layer on the bottom, sides and edge. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. To make filling: While crust is resting, in an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, whip the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until fluffy, or 5-6 minutes. Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to whip until thick, 3-4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice until incorporated. Pour the mixture into the crust and bake for 15 minutes or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack and refrigerate for 20 minutes. To make topping: Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until nearly stiff. Evenly spread on top of the pie and place in the freezer for 20 minutes prior to serving.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, 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 the ingredients blend together smoothly.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough pie crust. If after combining all the ingredients, the dough holds together, you have achieved the proper consistency.
  • Chill the pie crust for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust is cooked evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Mar-a-Lago Key Lime Pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, graham cracker crust, and refreshing lime flavor, this pie is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this recipe a try.
