ICEBOX KEY LIME PIE



Icebox Key Lime Pie image

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!

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 graham crackers
1/3 cup salted butter, melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup lemon curd
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup blackberries
1/4 cup raspberries
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/3 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Break the graham crackers, add them to a food processor and process to fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and granulated sugar and process until well combined; the texture should be that of dry sand.
  • Using the back of a measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into a 9-inch round pie dish. Put the pie dish on a baking sheet and bake until slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool while making the filling.
  • For the filling: In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff. Set aside.
  • To a clean mixing bowl, add the lemon curd, cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth. Gently fold 3/4 cup of the whipped cream into the lemon curd mixture until combined.
  • Pour the filling into the cooled pie shell. Top with the remaining whipped cream and use the back of a spoon to spread it and make peaks. Freeze, uncovered, for at least 2 hours. (If storing longer, after 2 hours in the freezer remove, cover and return to the freezer. Store for up to 48 hours in advance. If freezing overnight or longer, remove from the freezer 10 to 12 minutes before slicing.)
  • For serving: If desired, top with the blackberries, raspberries and mint. Dust with powdered sugar.

LEMON OR KEY LIME ICEBOX PIE



Lemon or Key Lime Icebox Pie image

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the pie will taste. This is especially important for the lemons or key limes, as their flavor will be the most prominent in the pie.
  • Chill the ingredients before using them. This will help the pie to set more quickly and will also give it a smoother texture.
  • Use a food processor to make the crust. This is the easiest way to get a smooth, even crust. If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a blender or a pastry cutter.
  • Press the crust firmly into the pie plate. This will help to prevent it from cracking when you bake it.
  • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Keep an eye on the crust so that it doesn't burn.
  • Let the crust cool completely before filling it. This will help to prevent the filling from making the crust soggy.
  • Make the filling according to the recipe. There are many different ways to make lemon or key lime pie filling, so be sure to follow the recipe you are using carefully.
  • Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Be sure to smooth out the top of the filling.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will give the filling time to set.
  • Serve the pie cold, with whipped cream or ice cream.
