JOE'S STONE CRAB KEY LIME PIE
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.

NO-BAKE KEY LIME YOGURT PIE
This cool and creamy custard pie is too good to reserve only for times of indulgence. At least that's how we feel, and it's the reason we developed this lower-calorie recipe. Its limey flavor comes from the inclusion of juice, zest and one secret shortcut ingredient: Yoplait® Light Thick & Creamy Key lime pie yogurt. Adding in yogurt, along with fat-free cream cheese and Cool Whip lite, helped us recreate the trademark creamy texture and rich flavor of this pie, while avoiding the higher-calorie evaporated milk and whipped cream used in the traditional recipe. The result of these smart swaps is a 200-calorie treat that's earned approval from well over 100 of your fellow home cooks.

PEPE'S CAFE KEY LIME PIE
This fairly classic recipe for Key lime pie comes from Pepe's Cafe in Key West, Florida, and is a favorite of lime pie aficionado and author David L. Sloan. The addition of whipped egg whites, says Sloan, makes for a filling that's fluffier than those in more traditional versions. For more on Sloan and the story behind Key lime pie, see Molly O'Neill's feature, "The Curious Case of Key Lime Pie."

Steps:
- Make the graham cracker crust:
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle with the melted butter and stir until well combined. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Leave the oven on.
- Make the filling:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or a large mixing bowl with a whisk or hand mixer, beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk. Add the lime juice and whisk until combined. Gently fold in about 1/3 of the egg whites to lighten the mixture then add the remaining egg whites and fold until just evenly combined. Gently spread the mixture in the pre-baked crust and bake until just set in the center, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely then refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. DO AHEAD: The pie can be baked and stored, covered, in the refrigerator, up to 3 days.
- Garnish and serve:
- In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream and sugar and whisk until soft peaks form. Cut the pie into slices and top each with a dollop of whipped cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Process graham crackers in a food processor; the finer the crumbs, the more the crust will stick together. Transfer to a bowl and mix with melted butter. Press and mold mixture into a 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on.
- While the crust is cooling, combine condensed milk and egg yolks in a bowl; whisk until fully blended and no yolks are visible in the mixture. Slowly pour in Key lime juice while stirring until combined. Pour into the cooled crust.
- Return to the oven and bake until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality limes. The flavor of your pie will depend on the quality of the limes you use, so it's important to choose ripe, juicy limes that are free of blemishes. Avoid using limes that are too green or too soft.
- Make sure the lime zest is finely grated. This will help to release the essential oils in the zest and give your pie a more intense flavor. If you don't have a microplane, you can use a regular grater. Just be sure to grate the zest very finely.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling can make it tough and dense. Mix the filling just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the pie crust before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking and cracking. You can chill the pie crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Don't overbake the pie. The pie is done baking when the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Overbaking the pie will make the filling dry and crumbly.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop. You can serve the pie at room temperature or chilled.
Conclusion:
Key lime pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a delicious, refreshing, and easy-to-make pie that everyone will love. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, you can easily make a delicious key lime pie with the help of these tips. So next time you're looking for a dessert to impress your friends and family, give key lime pie a try!
