LEMON OR KEY LIME ICEBOX PIE
I like this recipe because its simple and if you have children they can help with this one. Plus its a bit tart and sweet too. I have been making this pie for some years now. Best tip is to let your cream cheese get room temp, or heat in microwave unwrapped for 10-15 sec.

ICEBOX KEY LIME PIE
This recipe, originally from Chef Diane Unger, is unique in that contains no raw eggs, which used to be a standard ingredient for the pie. Since raw eggs are now a "no-no'" here's a tested way to produce a lime pie as bright and custard-like as the original, without using eggs. Garnish with a thinly sliced fresh lime "wheel" and wait for your guests to be "wowed." A great ending for a meal year around, but particularly during the warm summer months. Note: Do not be tempted to use bottled lime juice, which lacks depth of flavor. Also, use the larger Persian Limes...not the true Key Limes. It would take about 40 of the little Key Limes to yield a cup of juice!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Make the crust: Process crushed cookies or crackers, sugar, and (if used) salt in a food processor until finely crushed and well combined. Add melted butter, and process until thoroughly combined. Press on bottom, up sides, and onto lip of a lightly greased (with cooking spray) 9-inch regular pie plate or 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Freeze 30 minutes to 1 hour or while preparing fillings. Make the filling: Whisk together first 3 ingredients for the filling in a bowl. Beat egg yolks with a handheld mixer in a medium bowl at high speed 4 to 5 minutes or until yolks become pale and ribbons form on surface of mixture when beater is lifted. Gradually whisk in sweetened condensed milk mixture, and whisk until thoroughly combined; whisk in buttermilk. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Bake at 325° for 20 to 25 minutes or until set around edges. (Pie will be slightly jiggly.) Cool on a wire rack 1 hour. Cover pie with lightly greased (with cooking spray) plastic wrap, and freeze 4 to 6 hours. Top with sweetened whipped cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh key limes. Key limes have a more intense flavor than regular limes, which makes them ideal for this pie.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling can make the pie tough.
- Chill the pie before serving. This will help the pie set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious richness to the pie.
Conclusion:
Icebox key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy families. With its creamy filling and tangy key lime flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
