Author Laura

Ingredients

  • 1 - 9 inch prepared graham cracker shell
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • Zest from 1 lime I just use regular a lime
  • ½ cup key lime juice I use Nellie and Joe's bottled juice but you can juice your own limes or key limes or use regular bottled lime juice
  • 1 cup Whipping Cream
  • 2 heaping tbsp Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks. Whisk until well combined.  Whisk in lime juice.
  • Allow filling to sit while you zest the lime.  Add lime zest and whisk just until combined.
  • Pour the lime filling into the pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 1 hour.
  • The filling will become set as it cools.  When cool, place the pie in the refrigerator.  Chill for at least one hour before serving, but it is best if you can chill it for 12 hours.
  • Combine whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla  in a medium sized mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks form.  Pipe or spread whipping cream over pie and serve.  Makes 8 servings.
