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.

- *~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:

- 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.

Steps:
- Combine graham, butter, and powdered sugar in mixer until well mixed, then press into a 9-inch pie plate. (Optional: Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes, just until you can begin to smell the crust baking.) Freeze crust until needed.
- Grate the zest from one full lime. Squeeze the juice from fresh limes to make 1/3 cup (approximately 1 1/2 limes) of juice.
- Whisk together sugar, yolks, zest, and lime juice in a double boiler and heat until they form a custard. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Whip egg whites to stiff peaks and then beat in sugar.
- Fold egg whites into custard.
- Whip cream and confectioner's sugar together to stiff peaks. Fold into custard mixture.
- Gently spread the custard mixture into the pie crust and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
Tips:
- Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating can make the pie filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the center is just set. Overbaking can make the pie filling dry.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
