Key Lime Pie I image

This pie is always well received whenever served - it is light and refreshing and very attractive, too. An all-time favorite! You may substitute the key lime juice with a mixture of 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup fresh lime juice.

Time 4h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons white sugar
5 tablespoons butter, melted
3 eggs
½ cup key lime juice
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cream of tartar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 lime, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter. Press into 9 inch pie plate and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Separate 2 of the eggs, placing the two egg whites into a mixing bowl. Reserve the yolks in another bowl.
  • To the yolks, add one whole egg, lime juice and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until smooth. With clean mixer blades or a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until stiff, but not dry. Fold whites into filling mixture. Pour filling into partially baked crust.
  • Bake in preheated 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 10 to 15 minutes or until set. Let cool at room temperature, then freeze 4 hours to overnight. Just before serving, whip cream to form stiff peaks. Serve decorated with whipped cream and lime slices.

This is the best key lime pie recipe I've ever tried. The crust is perfectly flaky and the filling is tart and creamy. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I've made this pie several times and it always turns out great. I've even started experimenting with different flavors of lime juice. My favorite is a combination of Key lime juice and regular lime juice.

I made this pie for a party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. The only thing I would change is to add a little more lime juice to the filling. Other than that, it was perfect.
