Real Key Lime Pie From Key West Recipes

REAL KEY LIME PIE FROM KEY WEST

Steps:

• 1. CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the ingredients together and press them into a 9-inch pie plate (glass or pre-formed tin is your option). Bake in oven in middle rack for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven, and cool on a rack. Note: Do not turn off the oven, as you will be baking the next portion of the pie momentarily.
• 2. PIE FILLING: In a stand mixer with the whipping attachment, beat the egg yolks on medium speed until they are thick and turn yellow, DO NOT OVERMIX!
• 3. Turn the mixer off and add the sweetened condensed milk, and turn the mixer speed to low. Drizzle 1/2 of the lime juice. Once the lime juice is incorporated, add the other half of the juice and the zest, continue to mix until melted (just a few seconds).
• 4. Pour the mixture into the pie shell.
• 5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes to set the yolks. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for approximately 2 hours to set.
• 6. WHIPPING CREAM: In a stainless steel medium bowl, combine whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla and whisk by hand until creamy peaks form.
• 7. SERVING: Take the pie out of the refrigerator and slice pie in 8ths. Plate pie and add a dollop of whip cream! Try it also with some toasted coconut too!

• 3. NOTE: Definetly use the Key Limes for this recipe. There is a big difference in a regular lime & a key lime & it comes through in this recipe! Also I used a pie ring after the filling was put into the crust to make sure the crust edges did not burn. Enjoy!
