OH SO CREAMY AND FLUFFY KEY LIME PIE
We recently went to the Gaylord Texan Hotel over Christmas and had a slice of heaven in the form of a key lime pie delivered to our room. It wasn't to tart or to sweet and was oh so creamy. I was trying to recreate it for my DH birthday and hopefully got pretty close. He liked it - asked me to put some back so it wasn't totally eaten up by the family :). I also made some key lime sauce from debloves2cook recipe #166790 and put it on the plate as part of the presentation. Gave each plate a great look as well as a little lime kick. Cook time is refridgeration time. See the bottom of the instructions for a gluten free pie crust variation.

- FILLING:.
- Meanwhile, whisk cream cheese, condensed milk, egg yolks and lime juice to combine.
- In a seperate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks begin to form. (When you lift up the beaters, the peaks should hold and still look glossy).
- Fold into the cream cheese/lime mixture until just combined. Don't over mix - this is what gives the pie it's fluffy texture.

CREAMY LIME PIE (RICK BAYLESS)
Or Pay de Lim'on comes from Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen. Delicious and not too sweet. I use Recipe#291722 and sealed it with beaten egg yolk right after it comes out of my oven. The timing here does not include the time needed to make and bake the single crust before putting this filling into nor does it include making the creme fraiche or crema mexicana. I used Recipe#218458. Notice how this pie is baked and not stirred in sauce pan on top of the stove. The original recipe said 4 1/2 teaspoons of lime zest, we thought that was not enough so upped it to 5 teaspoons of lime zest. Am unsure if that is the right amount? It also has orange liqueur in it making it muy bueno! Rick Bayless also suggests serving it with Crimson Prickly Pear Sauce which RZ does not recognize as an ingredient or with a fruit sauce of your choice. Lots of ingredients here should be at room temperature-eggs, crema Mexicana, limes (about 4), and oranges (2?). I have eliminated the masa harina after looking at appleydapply's kind review.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl; measure in the lime zest, sugar, and masa harina or flour, and beat by hand until thoroughly combined.
- Stir in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the creme fraiche, lime juice, orange juice, and orange liqueur.
- Pour this mixture into the prebaked pie shell, set in the lower third of the oven, and bake until nearly set in the center ( a knife inserted halfway between the edge and the center should come out clean), about 45 minutes. Note: mine took over 55 minutes before it was baked.
- I suggest putting an aluminum foil rim covering just the crust up so that crust does not get too dark. I make 4 skinny foil strips and then just lay them over the crust trying not to cover the filling any more than necessary. My crust in photos are too dark b/c I waited 15 minutes before putting them on, and with the filling being so wiggly why not just move it one less time?.
- Cool slightly; serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and with fruit sauce dribbled around.

Steps:
- 1. The dough. Measure the flour, butter, and shortening (or lard) into a bowl or a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Quickly work the fats into the flour with a pastry blender or pulse the food processor until the flour looks a little damp (not powdery) but tiny bits of fat are still visible. If using the food processor, transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Mix together the sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of ice water. Using a fork, little by little work the ice-water mixture into the flour mixture. The dough will be in rough, rather stiff clumps; if there is unincorporated flour in the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle in a little more ice water and use the fork to work it together. Press the dough together into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch glass pie pan (I find it easiest to roll the dough onto the rolling pin, then unroll it onto the pie pan). Decoratively crimp the edge and trim the excess dough. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- 2. Prebaking the crust. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a 15-inch piece of foil and lay it, oiled-side down, into the crust (heavy duty foil is too stiff to work here); press down to line the crust snugly. Fill with beans or pie weights and bake about 15 minutes, until beginning to brown around the edges. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Carefully remove the beans (or weights) and foil, return the crust to the oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes, until it no longer looks moist. (If it bubbles at this point, gently press it down with the back of a spoon.) Brush the beaten egg yolk over the crust, then let cool completely.
- 3. The Filling. Crack the eggs into a large bowl; measure in the lime zest, sugar and masa harina or flour, and beat by hand until thoroughly combined. Stir in the thick cream, lime juice, orange juice and orange liqueur.
- 4. Baking the pie. Pour the filling into the prebaked pie shell, set in the lower third of the 350-degree oven, and bake until nearly set in the center (a knife inserted halfway between the edge and the center should come out clean), about 45 minutes.
- Cool slightly; serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and with sauce dribbled around.
- Advance Preparation
- This delicate pie is best served shortly after it is baked.

Steps:
- For the crust, combine the flour, butter, shortening (or lard), salt, and sugar in a food processor. Pulse until the flour looks a little damp (rather than powdery), with tiny bits of fat still visible. Alternatively, combine the ingredients in a large bowl and quickly work the fats into the flour with a pastry blender.
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water. Continue to pulse the dough until it comes together in rough, stiff clumps; if there is unincorporated flour in the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle in a little more ice water.Transfer the dough into a bowl and gather together into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edge, trim off excess dough, and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly oil a 15-inch piece of foil and lay it, oiled-side down, onto the crust; press down to line the crust snugly. Fill with beans or pie weights. Bake until the edges begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Carefully remove the beans (or weights) and foil; return the crust to the oven and bake until it no longer looks moist, 8 to 10 minutes. If it bubbles at this point, gently press it down with the back of a spoon. Brush the beaten egg yolk over the crust, then let cool completely, 1 hour.
- For the filling, whisk together the lime zest, eggs, all-purpose flour, and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the cream, lime juice, orange juice, and orange liqueur.
- Pour the filling into the cooled, parbaked pie crust. Place the pie in the lower third of the 350 F oven and bake until nearly set in the center (a knife inserted halfway between the edge and the center should come out clean), 40 to 45 minutes.
- Remove pie from oven and cool on a wire rack; serve still warm if you can, dusted with powdered sugar and garnished with whipped cream and fresh lime zest.

CREAMY LIME PIE
Steps:
- Make crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare graham cracker crumbs in food processor. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl with a fork until combined well. Press mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake crust in middle of oven 10 minutes and cool in pie plate on a rack. Make filling: Soak 1 tablespoon gelatin in 1/4 cup water, set aside. Bring water to a simmer in bottom half of a double boiler. Stir and cook in double boiler until the consistency of custard, about 15-18 minutes: ½ cup sugar, lime juice, salt, and lightly beaten egg yolks. Pour into bowl and stir in gelatin mixture and lime zest. Let custard mixture cool completely. In a separate bowl beat 1 cup chilled cream until stiff. In a third bowl beat egg whites and slowly add 1/2 cup sugar until peaks form. Once lime custard mixture has cooled, whisk to fluff. Fold in egg whites, followed by whipped cream. Pour mixture into crust and refrigerate for several hours. Optional: You may top with additional whipped cream and lime garnish if desired.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
- Make sure the cream cheese and sour cream are at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overbeat the filling or it will become too thick and dense.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish the pie with whipped cream, lime zest, or fresh lime slices before serving.
Conclusion:
This creamy lime pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy and tangy filling and its graham cracker crust, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this creamy lime pie a try.
