A nice key lime pie recipe to try!

Key Lime Pie Recipe Ingredients:

* 1/2 cup key lime juice, fresh if possible
* 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
* 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
* 1 to 2 teaspoons finely grated lime or key lime zest, divided
* 5 egg yolks
* whipped cream or whipped topping, optional
* 1 graham cracker pie shell
* Meringue (optional)
* 3 to 4 egg whites
* 6 tablespoons sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Key Lime Pie Recipe Instructions :
Whisk sweetened condensed milk with the egg yolks. Stir in whipping cream and key lime juice. Stir in 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest. Pour into a prepared graham cracker crust and bake at 325° for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and increase temperature to 350° if meringue is used. If you aren't making the meringue, cool the pie and top with whipped cream and a little lime zest just before serving.

Meanwhile, make meringue, if using. In a glass or stainless steel bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt; gradually beat into the egg whites. Continue beating until egg whites no longer feel gritty (with sugar)when a little is smeared between two fingers. Spoon onto the hot pie filling, spreading to cover completely to the crust. Put back in the oven and bake at 350° until meringue is browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. The key lime pie recipe is ready to serve..enjoy the pie !

INGREDIENTS
A nice key lime pie recipe to try !

* 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (12 to 15 key limes or 3 to 4 common limes)
* 4 teaspoons grated lime zest
* 4 egg yolks
* 1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
* 11 graham crackers
* 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl until tinted light green. This takes about 2 minutes
2. Beat in milk, then juice and set aside at room temperature till it thickens.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
4. Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in another bowl.
5. Add butter and stir with a fork until well blended.
6. Pour this mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and press over the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Try using the bottom of a measuring cup to make sure the graham cracker mixture forms a firm crust on the bottom of the pie pan.
7. Bake on the center rack for about 15 minutes until the crust is lightly brown, remove and let cool to room temperature.

8. Pour the lime filling into crust, spread evenly, and then bake for 15 minutes until the center sets, but still wiggles when shaken.

9. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.

10. Refrigerate for at least three hours until well chilled.

Some of you might like to serve it with a whipped cream topping or a meringue topping, but I prefer keeping it simple. If the pie seems to be sticking to the pan when serving, try dipping the pan into a bowl of warm water to loosen it. The key lime pie recipe is ready to serve...enjoy !

Pie Filling
Use an electric mixer and beat the egg yolks until they are thick and turn to a light yellow, don't over mix. Turn the mixer off and add the sweetened condensed milk.

Pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake at 350F for 12 minutes to set the yolks and kill any salmonella in the eggs.
