KEY LIME PIE

This is the frozen key lime pie that ends up all over Jack Nicholson's face in the film adaptation of the novel "Heartburn," Nora Ephron's thinly veiled recounting of her disastrous marriage to Carl Bernstein. It is very easy to make, and the large amount of key lime juice guarantees a tart, impressive flavor. We recommend eating it, though, not using it as a weapon.

Time 15m

Yield One 9-inch pie (8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large egg yolks
2 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup freshly squeezed or bottled Key lime juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
One prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust, refrigerated
2 to 3 cups lightly sweetened whipped cream, for topping

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat yolks until thick, about 3 minutes. Add condensed milk, lime juice and lime zest. Beat again until well blended, about 1 minute.
  • Pour into pie shell, filling it to the brim and mounding slightly on top. Cover with plastic wrap, stretching wrap tightly across surface. Freeze until firm, at least three hours.
  • Just before serving, remove from freezer and discard plastic wrap. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then spread with whipped cream and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes. Key limes have a more intense flavor than regular limes, and they will give your pie a more authentic taste.
  • Don't overbeat the egg yolks. Overbeating the egg yolks will make them tough and rubbery. Beat them just until they are light and fluffy.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set. The pie is done baking when the center is no longer jiggly. It should still have a slight wobble to it.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the pie to set and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will help to balance out the tartness of the pie.

Conclusion:

Key lime pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy filling and tangy lime flavor, key lime pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
