Time 2h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup powdered sugar
6 tablespoons sugar
2 large egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons lime zest
1/3 cup lime juice
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Combine graham, butter, and powdered sugar in mixer until well mixed, then press into a 9-inch pie plate. (Optional: Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes, just until you can begin to smell the crust baking.) Freeze crust until needed.
  • Grate the zest from one full lime. Squeeze the juice from fresh limes to make 1/3 cup (approximately 1 1/2 limes) of juice.
  • Whisk together sugar, yolks, zest, and lime juice in a double boiler and heat until they form a custard. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Whip egg whites to stiff peaks and then beat in sugar.
  • Fold egg whites into custard.
  • Whip cream and confectioner's sugar together to stiff peaks. Fold into custard mixture.
  • Gently spread the custard mixture into the pie crust and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.

I've tried many key lime pie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The secret is in the fresh lime juice and zest. It gives the pie a wonderfully bright and tangy flavor.
