Kelly's Rich and Creamy Key Lime Pie image

My DH say's that mine is the best Key Lime Pie he's ever had! I was SO HAPPY!! He used to live in Florida, and said it tastes just like the pie you get down there. (I was very proud and relieved to hear that! I was really nervous to make him one!) Hope you give my recipe a try. It's a wonderful, easy and no-fail recipe!

Categories     Pie

Time 1h

Yield 1 pie, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 egg yolks
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup key lime juice, fresh or bottled
1 (9 ounce) keebler graham cracker crust, 10-inch size
sweetened whipped cream or Cool Whip
kiwi, slices (to garnish, optional) (optional) or fresh strawberries (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325ยบ.
  • In medium bowl, gently whisk eggs.
  • Slowly whisk in sweetened condensed milk.
  • Slowly whisk in key lime juice.
  • *Do not over mix, this will create bubbles. Just stir gently til all ingredients are mixed together well.
  • 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 with slices of key limes, kiwi and/or fanned strawberries 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. ;).
  • The only other thing I do, is I do add 2 drops green food coloring to the pie for a bit of green color. But this is totally up to you!
  • *If preferred, you can also bake this pie in a 9" deep dish pastry crust.
