Catahoula's Key Lime Pie image

I found this AMAZING pie on another website some weeks ago when I was looking for a good key lime pie recipe that did not include a meringue topping (my fiance doesn't care for it). According to that site, this is the key lime pie served at the famous Catahoula's restaurant in Louisiana. Normally I am not a big fan of key lime pie, but this one is a winner! I'm including the recipe for the crust if you want to make your own; I simply used a store-bought prepared graham cracker crust, and it worked just fine. For a pretty presentation, pipe whipped cream around the edges of the pie, and garnish with fresh lime zest.

Time 50m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
6 ounces graham cracker crumbs (15 full crackers)
1 cup key lime juice (20 - 40 key limes, depending on size and juiciness)
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
2 egg yolks
2 large eggs
2 limes, zest of

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare crust: Thoroughly mix all ingredients. Press into bottom and sides of a 10" pie tin with fingertips. Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching carefully to avoid letting the crust burn. Remove from oven.
  • For the filling: Combine filling ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy (I used my Bullet mixer for this and it worked wonderfully). Pour into pie crust.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until firm.
  • Remove and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with whipped cream and fresh lime zest.
