Time 1h

Yield 1 pie, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 egg yolks
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup key lime juice, fresh or bottled
1 (9 ounce) keebler graham cracker crust, 10-inch size
sweetened whipped cream or Cool Whip
kiwi, slices (to garnish, optional) (optional) or fresh strawberries (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325º.
  • In medium bowl, gently whisk eggs.
  • Slowly whisk in sweetened condensed milk.
  • Slowly whisk in key lime juice.
  • *Do not over mix, this will create bubbles. Just stir gently til all ingredients are mixed together well.
  • Pop into oven for 40-45 minutes. *My oven takes 44 minutes exactly.
  • The edge of pie will just START to slightly poof up and the edge of pie will also be very SLIGHTLY a pale golden brown. Just very lightly browned. The pie also will no longer jiggle.
  • Let cool. Pie will set up perfectly as it cools.
  • Refrigerate at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • Pie gets even better the next day! :).
  • Serve with whipped cream topping.
  • Garnish with slices of key limes, kiwi and/or fanned strawberries if desired.
  • VERY rich and creamy!
  • ***You can save the egg whites and make a meringue top if preffered. But we like the cool, smooth creaminess of sweetened whipped cream much better than meringue. ;).
  • The only other thing I do, is I do add 2 drops green food coloring to the pie for a bit of green color. But this is totally up to you!
  • *If preferred, you can also bake this pie in a 9" deep dish pastry crust.

AUTHENTIC KEY LIME PIE



Authentic Key Lime Pie image

I am a Florida native who raised Key lime trees in the back yard. This recipe is as authentic as it gets. A real Key lime pie is plain, simple. This is the recipe I grew up with. I hope you like it.

Provided by JetsonRING

Time 5h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
4 jumbo egg yolks
½ cup Key lime juice
1 (8 inch) graham cracker crust

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk condensed milk and egg yolks together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in Key lime juice; mixture will be thin at first but will thicken as it is whisked. Whisk until smooth and thick. Pour into the graham cracker crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate before serving, 5 hours to overnight.

Tips:

  • Use a water bath to bake the pie. This will help prevent the crust from becoming too brown and the filling from curdling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese and condensed milk are at room temperature before you start mixing them together. This will help them blend smoothly and avoid lumps.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream. Overbeaten whipped cream will become stiff and grainy.
  • If you don't have time to make your own graham cracker crust, you can use a pre-made one. Just make sure it's a 9-inch crust.
  • Store the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

This easy creamy key lime pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's light and refreshing, with a creamy filling and a graham cracker crust. The pie is also very easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this key lime pie a try.
