Description

Strict Key Lime Adherents: Please look away. I haven’t got time for the pain. Everyone else: Let’s make Key Lime Pie! Using regular limes! Because that’s all I have available in my small town! And I don’t live in Florida! So I can’t grow my own! Key limes! (I’m still calling it Key Lime Pie, though—no one can stop me. Not even you Strict Key Lime Adherents.)

Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 18 whole Graham Crackers (the 4-section Large Pieces)
  • ⅓ cups Sugar
  • ⅓ cups Butter, Melted
  • _____
  • Filling
  • 1 Tablespoon (heaping) Lime Zest
  • ½ cups Lime Juice
  • 2 whole Egg Yolks
  • 1 can (14 Oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

For the crust:
Crush crackers in a food processor or Ziploc bag. Pour them into a bowl and stir in sugar and melted butter. Press into a pie pan and bake for 5 minutes or until golden and set. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

For the filling:
Mix lime zest, lime juice, and egg yolks in a mixing bowl. Add in condensed milk and mix on high until smooth and thick. Pour mixture into crust and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven, allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour—more if possible.

Serve with sweetened whipped cream and more grated lime zest.
