Key Lime Pie
Boy was I craving a slice of key lime pie tonite, I just love the creamyiness (forgive the spelling) of the filling mixed with the tarty lime and then the graham cracker crust. It's a slice of Heaven! And it falls in to my 'easy to make' category. It hit the spot tonite after my dinner wasn't all that fulfilling. Have you ever had a better dessert than you did a meal? At least the last taste in my mouth was this delicious dessert, I can go to bed happy tonite!
Ingredients:
1 graham cracker pie crust1 can condensed milk
4 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 c. fresh squeezed key lime juice
Fresh whipped cream
Couple of drops of green food coloring (optional)
Beat 4 egg yolks until frothy; add 1 egg white and beat with egg yolks for a more chiffon-like filling. Add 1 can condensed milk and mix well. Add 1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice and food coloring (optional); mix well.
Pour into graham cracker crust. Bake 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Chill well in refrigerator until filling is set. Serve with fresh whipped cream. The pie also freezes well, especially with the egg white added to the filling. Optional: top with lime slices if you want or other decorations, even strawberries slices.
Now, what if you want to make your own graham cracker crust?
