1 1/2 cups graham-cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
5 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed key-lime juice
1 tablespoon grated Key lime zest, plus more for garnish

KEY LIME PIE MARTINI

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     beverage

Time 35m

Yield 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 7

Graham cracker crumbs, for rimming the glass
2 lime wedges
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) vanilla flavored vodka
1/4 cup (2 ounces) key lime liqueur (recommended: KeKe Beach Key Lime Liqueur)
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Ice cubes

Steps:

  • Pour the graham cracker crumbs in a shallow dish. Rub a lime wedge around the edge of a martini glass and roll the edge in the graham cracker crumbs. Chill the glass for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
  • Combine the vanilla vodka, key lime liqueur, pineapple juice, and cream in a shaker. Fill the shaker half full with ice and shake until well blended. Pour into prepared martini glass, garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes: The fresher the limes, the better the pie will taste. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the limes are zested before juicing them: Zesting the limes will release their essential oils, which will give the pie a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie in a water bath: Baking the pie in a water bath will help to prevent the filling from cracking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: The pie needs to cool completely before serving so that the filling has time to set.

Conclusion:

This classic key lime pie recipe is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, tart filling and graham cracker crust, it's the perfect dessert for any occasion. Whether you're a fan of key lime pie or you're just looking for a new dessert to try, this recipe is sure to please.
