Categories     Fruit

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

Graham Cracker Crust:
3/4 pound graham crackers
4 Tbsp. granulated sugar
2 sticks melted butter
1/4 tsp. sea salt
Filling:
4 egg yolks
1 can (14 ounces) condensed milk
2/3 cup fresh Key lime juice
1 lime , grated zest
Topping:
1 cup heavy or whipping cream , chilled
2 Tbsp. confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Steps:

  • To make graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 325°. Break up the graham crackers, place in a food processor and process to crumbs. Add the melted butter, sugar and salt and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan, forming an even layer on the bottom, sides and edge. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool. To make filling: While the crust is resting, in an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, whip the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until fluffy, or 5 to 6 minutes. Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to whip until thick, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice until incorporated. Pour the mixture into the crust and bake for 15 minutes, or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack, and then refrigerate for 20 minutes. To make topping: Whip the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until nearly stiff. Evenly spread the whipped cream on top of the pie, and place in the freezer for 20 minutes prior to serving.

Yield Makes 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups graham-cracker crumbs, broken into pieces
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons sugar
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice (about 17 limes)
1 tablespoon grated key lime zest, plus more for garnish (about 8 limes)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
3 tablespoons sugar
8 large egg whites
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • For the Crust: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine graham-cracker crumbs, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl; mix well. Press into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
  • For the Filling: Lower oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, key lime juice, and zest. Pour into the prepared, cooled crust.
  • Return pie to oven, and bake until the center is set but still quivers when the pan is nudged, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the Whipped Cream Topping: Shortly before serving, combine cream and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon over cooled pie and serve immediately.
  • For the Meringue Topping: Add topping shortly before serving. In a large bowl, combine egg whites, sugar, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread meringue on pie, making sure it touches the crust all around. Use a kitchen blowtorch to brown meringue all over.

5-Ingredient Key Lime Pie image

A simple 5-ingredient Key lime pie I've been eating my whole life in south Florida.

Provided by Logan Fleming

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

⅓ (14.4 ounce) package graham crackers, broken into quarters
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 large egg yolks
½ cup Key lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on.

  • 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:

  • For the best key lime pie, use fresh key limes. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the egg yolks and condensed milk are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help to ensure that they mix together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the pie filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is just set. The pie will continue to cook as it cools.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

Key lime pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy filling and tangy lime flavor, key lime pie is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
