KISS Key Lime Pie image

I spent 4 months the hot summer of 2010 making at least 3 pies a week to come up with the ultimate key lime pie. I call it KISS for Keep It Simple Stupid! NO ONE can screw up using this recipe. The only time I ruined it was 1 time when I fell asleep & burnt the crust. ;-) This recipe was published on-line but I can't remember...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 9
2 14 oz cans eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
3/4 c nellie & joe's key lime juice [use this brand, it's worth it]!
1 c heavy cream [optional for whipped cream]
vanilla to taste [optional for whipped cream]
powdered sugar to taste. optional for whipped cream
my pictures show a half batch. we ate it in

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven
  • 2. Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
  • 3. Eggs [yolks only] in bowl
  • 4. Accent
  • 5. Adding Accent to yolks
  • 6. Nellie & Joe's Key West Lime juice. Using "the good stuff" is a MUST! If you use regular lime juice from a green plastic lime-shaped container... What can I say, you get what you pay for. ;-)
  • 7. Pouring lime juice into bowl
  • 8. Wisking yolks, milk & juice. You can wisk it by hand [no problem] but I prefer the consistency when I use the electric mixer using the wisk attachment. I usually wisk, working speed up to high. Then I beat for 1 full minute. I don't know if I'm being ridiculous, but I spent a whole summer trying variations to get this to perfection. "Knock on wood!" I wouldn't want to jinx it... And a bit of salt over the shoulder too. hahahaha
  • 9. Ready made graham pie crust Put mixture into crust
  • 10. Put pie into oven
  • 11. Bake @ 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Do NOT OVERCOOK!!!!! Texture gets gritty if overdone.
  • 12. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour
  • 13. Chill in refridgerator for at least 4 hours. You can tell its done when you cut a slice and its "set". If pie falls into space where piece was, it not done. ;-)
  • 14. Cut a piece & enjoy!!! Some people like it with my homemmade whipped cream. I prefer to eat it plain; I LIKE the tartness. To each his/her own.

I've tried many key lime pie recipes over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. The filling is so smooth and creamy, and the crust is just the right amount of crumbly.
