THE BEST KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust: Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and salt with a fork in a medium bowl. Pour in the butter and continue to stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch glass or metal pie dish and spread into an even layer. Use a 1/4 measuring cup or small glass to firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake until it is dry-looking and lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack while you make the filling.
• For the filling: Combine the sweetened condensed milk and sour cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add the lime juice, egg yolks, salt and lime zest and continue to beat until the batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour into the graham cracker crust. Bake until the pie is mostly set but jiggles slightly in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the pie cool to room temperature on a wire rack, then refrigerate to set and chill completely, at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
• For the whipped cream topping: Combine the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the topping decoratively on top of the pie. Alternatively, dolloped the whipped cream on slices of pie. Sprinkle with lime zest.

KEY LIME MOUSSE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, soak the gelatin in warm water until it softens and dissolves, stirring occasionally. Gradually stir the lime juice and zest into the gelatin and set mixture aside.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and salt at high speed until thick and foamy, 7-10 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in key lime mixture.
• Cover bowl and refrigerate until mixture begins to set but is still liquidy- approx 1 hour.
• Whip 1 cup of whipping cream until it forms soft peaks and fold into key lime mixture.
• Pour half the key lime mixture into a large bowl and sprinkle a layer of crushed graham cracker crumbs on top, reserving 3 tablespoons. Fill bowl with remaining key lime mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, whip remaining cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Pipe or spoon cream on mousse and sprinkle remaining graham cracker crumbs on top.
• Garnish with sliced limes.

NO-BAKE KEY LIME PIE JARS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the texture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until smooth and thick and the beaters leave a ribbon when lifted out of the bowl, 3-4 minutes. Using a flexible spatula, fold in the key lime juice and ½ teaspoon key lime zest until just combined.
• Place the jars on a baking sheet. Spoon 2 scant tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each jar. Reserve the remaining crumbs. Press down firmly on the crumbs in the jars to form a packed, even layer.
• Divide the filling evenly between the jars, about ¼ cup (25 G) per jar. Cover the jars with the lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
• In a medium bowl, whip the remaining ⅓ cup (80 ML) heavy cream and the powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
• When ready to serve, top each jar with a dollop of whipped cream, the remaining cookie crumbs, and the remaining ½ teaspoon lime zest. Serve immediately.

KEY LIME PIE WITH TOASTED MARSHMALLOW MERINGUE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Place graham crackers in plastic bag and crush them into a fine crumb using a rolling pin. Alternatively, a food processor can be used to crush the crackers.
• Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a medium bowl with the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until the crumbs take on the character of a coarse, wet sand.
• Pour the crumbs into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Press the crumb firmly into the dish, making sure to coat the bottom and sides of the dish evenly. Once the crust has been formed, place the pie dish into the refrigerator to firm up.
• Separate 6 eggs. Working with the yolks (reserve the whites for later), add the zest of 1 lime and whisk, either by hand or with an electric mixer, for 2 minutes. Add the can of condensed milk and continue to whisk until mixture is smooth and has a pale yellow color.
• Add in the ice cream and key lime juice. Continue to whisk for an additional 3-5 minutes. The filling should be smooth and airy when finished.
• Pour the filling mixture into the refrigerated graham cracker crust and bake at 350˚F (180˚C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges of the crust begin to brown and the filling no longer jiggles when disturbed.
• While the pie is baking, combine the reserved egg whites with corn syrup and about ¼ cup (50 grams) of the sugar and begin to whisk vigorously to form the meringue. Continue to add the sugar in small increments until all of it is incorporated. Continue to whisk until mixture thickens and stiff peaks form, about 7-10 minutes.
• Top the baked pie with the meringue. Using a rubber spatula, spread the meringue evenly over the top of the pie, making sure to cover all the visible areas of filling. Once covered, use the tip of the spatula to shape the meringue forming small peaks a valleys in the topping.
• Bake at 350˚ (180˚C) for an additional 7-10 minutes to toast the meringue topping. Allow to cool completely for at least 1 hour before cutting.
• Enjoy!
