Key Lime Pie recipe - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Anxst · 07-09-2007, 04:27 PM

A few years back here, there was posted an excellent key lime pie recipe using cream cheese, key lime juice, and some other ingredients. Due to my misfortune I lost a number of recipes, and a search of this forum didn't bring that one up. Does anyone happen to know the recipe?

Thanks!

sorry. i dont have one with cream cheese. i always make the standard:

4 oz key lime juice
3 or 4 egg yolks (3 for larger eggs, 4 for smaller)
1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk

mix them all together, bake in a graham crust for 10 min at 350F.

top with whipped cream.

easy and yum.

A quick google search found this - looks like the cream cheese being used instead of egg yolks. I usually use a variation of the same recipe doodlebird posted - might just have to try thi:

* graham cracker or vanilla wafer crust
* 8 oz cream cheese, softened
* 1 can sweetened condensed milk
* 1/2 cup key lime juice
* whipped topping or whipped cream topping (optional)

Soften cream cheese, add sweetened condensed milk, mix, add lime juice. PLace cream cheese mixture in crust. Refrigerate. Top with Cool Whip if desired.

I don't know their recipe, and I'm not sure if it's in the public domain but the best key lime pie I have ever tasted is served at Joe's Stone Crabs in South Beach.
Enjoy!

That was the one! I just wasn't sure if it completely replaced the egg yolks, or only SOME of them. Thanks, folks!
