Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325º. In medium bowl, gently whisk egg yolks. Slowly whisk in sweetened condensed milk. Slowly whisk in key lime juice. *Do not over mix, this will create bubbles. Just whisk and stir gently til all ingredients are mixed together well. Pour into 9" deep dish homemade graham cracker crust. 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 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. ;) **If preferred, you can also bake this pie in a 9" deep dish pastry crust. ***If a green color is desired, just add 2 drops green food coloring. I used to do this, but now I just leave it natural colored.
- 2. Tip: I once used fresh key limes and will never do that again. It took forever and you honestly couldn't even tell the difference from the bottled juice.
LINDA'S RICH KEY LIME PIE
This is a very rich, creamy, and tart dessert. This is one of the many delicious things Linda served us on our visit to"the beach" to see the Buckingham's of Great Bridge. I will always have fond memories when ever I even think about Key Lime Pie. I used one bag of Key Limes, about 20-24 tiny limes. I also used one inner package (9 sheets) of Nabisco original Graham Crackers. I called my sister-in-law to tell her that I had made her pie... I said it was not as good as hers, that I cooked the crust too long, and my limes were not as fresh as they could be. I also told her my poor right thumb was sore from squeezing the limes. She said she saw a key lime squeezer, and that she was going to get some for the two of us.

KEY LIME SAUCE
My husband LOVES Key Lime Pie. After a recent trip to Florida, he got a hankering for some, so luckily I found Recipe #161578 Kelly's Rich & Creamy Key Lime Pie which is just delicious and easy to make. But DH wanted me to drizzle a key lime sauce over the pie. So here is a recipe I found that, if desired, goes great with Peacefulnightdove's recipe. This would also be good drizzled over bread pudding, among other things.

Tips:
- Use fresh key limes. Fresh key limes have a more intense flavor than bottled or frozen lime juice, and they will give your pie the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the egg yolks. The egg yolks should be cooked until they are thick and creamy, but not so long that they curdle. Keep a close eye on them while you are cooking them.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will give the pie time to set and the flavors to meld. You can chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious richness to the pie.
Conclusion:
Kelly's Rich and Creamy 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, making it a great option for busy weeknights or special occasions. The combination of the creamy filling and the tangy key lime flavor is sure to please everyone.
