But since posting my pic of my Key Lime Pie I have gotten so many requests that I decided to make it easier and just post the recipe here. This is so easy, so summery and so delicious your guests will begging for more. And if they don't ... they have no taste.
Ingredients
For Crust
1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup of melted salted butter
1/3 cup of sugar
For Pie
1/2 cup of fresh lime juice
1 TBSP of lime zest (heaping tablespoon! don't be shy)
1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk
2 whole egg yolks
Here's how you do it.
Preheat oven to 350. Mix butter and sugar into crumbs with fork until just moist. Gently press it into a pie plate. 8 or 9 inch. I did 9. Not deep dish though. Put it in the oven for 5 to 8 minutes until golden. Put on rack to cool. Now take a sip from your cocktail.
Meanwhile ....
Zest the limes. Then roll them on the cutting board and juice the suckers. (You don't need key limes for this. Just regular ones. And depending on size and juiciness, 6 to 8 should be plenty. If you have any leftovers... more margaritas!) Mix egg yolks, lime juice and zest until combined. Add sweetened condensed milk and with your trusty stand mixer on high mix until smooth and thick. Possibly 90 seconds to two minutes. Dump this into the crust and put it back in the oven (probably on a baking sheet would be best) for 15 minutes or until it no longer jiggles. Cool on rack and then put it in the fridge for at least an hour. Serve with whipped cream and a little more lime zest on top of that. And that's it! Excuse me but I have to go now and wipe this drool away.
