Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie

1 (14oz.) can condensed milk

3 egg yolks

2 tsp key lime zest

½ cup key lime juice

1 9 inch graham cracker crust

1 cup whipping cream

3 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Preheat oven 350 degrees

Whisk together milk, eggs and lime zest and juice until well blended. Pour Mixture into graham cracker crust.

Bake for 15 min. or until pie is set. Cool completely on wire rack.

Whip cream with powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Mound on top of pie and garnish with sprig of mint and twist of lime. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I used cool whip to save a little time. Use regular limes if key limes are not available. Lemons are delicious in this recipe also.

In place of a ready made graham cracker crust I used 1 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 6 tablespoons of butter melted. Mix all together and press in the bottom of pie plate. Bake at 300 for about 10 to 15 min. Let cool completely then fill with pie filling.
