KEY LIME PIE
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons grated lime zest
- 2 eggs, separted
- 1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk, not eveaporated
Graham Cracker Crust Recipe
- 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 Tablespoons sugar

How To Make a Key Lime Pie
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Fill a 9-inch pie pan or dish with the graham cracker mixture, forming it into the pan, and pressing all around and up the sides. Set aside.
- Whip egg whites in a clean, dry bowl of a high-speed mixer, or in a medium bowl with a hand-held mixer. Beat whites until stiff peaks form. Remove egg whites to a clean bowl.
- In the same bowl (no need to clean it!), combine lime juice, lime zest, egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk, and mix with the whip attachment until frothy and thick.
- Gently fold whipped egg whites into the lime juice mixture, and blend only until all ingredients are incorporated. You don't want to beat them so hard that the egg whites deflate.
- Place graham cracker crust on a baking sheet. Pour the Key Lime batter into the shell, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pie is puffy and the edges just start to brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before decorating with whipped cream, lime slices and/or graham cracker crumbs.
- Serves 8. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
