Key lime pie, IMO, is one of those things that makes life worth living. I was lucky enough to find a decent, and amazingly simple, recipe for Key lime pie some years ago. I'm feeling generous today and thought I'd share it. I've always gotten rave reviews for my pie so I know it's good!
Key Lime Pie
- 3 egg yolks (whites are not required)
- 14 ounce can of sweetened, condensed milk
- 8 ounces of softened cream cheese
- 5 ounces of Key West lime juice
- 1 tblsp lime zest
- 1 graham cracker pie crust (9" size)
Pour condensed milk into a blender, add cream cheese gradually in small
portions and mix until smooth. Add egg yolks and blend well. Pour in the
Key West lime juice and continue blending until the mixture is smooth.
Add tbsp. of fresh lime zest. Pour mixture into graham cracker pie shell
and bake at 350 degrees for just 10 minutes. After baking, cool; then
put in refrigerator.
If you can't get your hands on real Key limes (I have a great-uncle who lives down that way and ships a bushel our direction once a year), I found that this is the best bottled juice.
Nellie & Joes Lime Juice.
Enjoy!
