1 cup plus 2 1/2 tablespoons finely ground graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 large egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
2/3 cup fresh Key lime juice (about 23 Key limes total)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)

Add condensed milk in a slow, steady stream, mixing constantly. Raise speed to high; mix until thick, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add lime juice; mix until just combined.
  • Spread filling evenly over crust using a spatula. Bake, rotating dish halfway through, until filling is just set, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight).

JOE'S STONE CRAB KEY LIME PIE



Joe's Stone Crab Key Lime Pie image

I made this for my grandparent's 61st wedding anniversary recently. They lived in Florida in their youth, and loved Joe's Stone, and have lamented on occasion that they will never be able to go back (they now live in Virginia). The family rallied 'round and ordered the crab claws directly from Joe's, got a Joe's Stone Crab Cookbook, and prepared the rest of the meal directly from it. What a fantastic surprise it was... and this was a very sweet end to the night. NOTE: I was only able to find about 8 key limes, which wasn't enough juice. I supplemented with Nellie & Joe's Key Lime juice without a problem. Also, I thought the pie was so rich it didn't even need any whipped cream.

JOE'S STONE CRAB KEY LIME PIE RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Joe's Stone Crab Key Lime Pie Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by lisaS

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 graham cracker pie crust
Filling
3 Egg yolks
1 1/2 tsp Grated zest of 2 limes
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • For the filing: Meanwhile, in an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to beat until thick, 3 or 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice, mixing just until combined, no longer. Pour the mixture into the crust. Bake for 10 minutes or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect shortbread crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan.
  • For a smooth and creamy filling, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow. Then, stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and cream cheese until well combined.
  • To prevent the filling from cracking, bake the bars at a low temperature (325°F) for a longer period of time (40-45 minutes).
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • For a more decadent dessert, top the bars with whipped cream or a dollop of crème fraîche.

Conclusion:

Joe's Stone Crab Key Lime Bars are a delightful and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their creamy filling, tangy lime flavor, and buttery shortbread crust, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
