Yield 2 pies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
2/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 sugar
3 tbsp sugar
2 large egg yolks
4 large eggs
zest of 8 Mexican limes (or 4 regular limes) plus more for garnish
2 14 oz. cans of sweetened condensed milk
1.3 cups of Mexican lime juice (from 2 lbs. of fruit)
1 1/2 Mexican crema (or regular sour cream)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, butter, 1/2 cup of sugar.Press over bottom and sides of two 9" pie pans. Bake until pale golden - 5 mins. If crusts shrink, gently push up with sides of fork. Let cool. 2. Beat yolks, zest, and milk in a bowl with a mixer on high speed until thick, 5 mins. Beat in whole eggs and lime juice just to blend. Divide mixture between crusts. 3. Bake pies until filling no longer jiggles when pies are gently shaken, 20-25 mins. Cool on racks. Cover and chill at least 1.5 hours. 4. Beat crema and remaining 3 tbsp of sugar in a bowl with a mixer on high speed until thick, about 3 minutes. Spread over pies, swirling topping. Scatter more lime zest on top. Make ahead up to 1 day through step 3, covered. Add topping up to 4 hours before serving and chill, uncovered.

Is it possible to use a different type of citrus fruit, like lemon or grapefruit, instead of limes?

This pie is giving me major key lime pie vibes. I'm definitely going to have to try it.

I'm not a big fan of lime pie, but this recipe looks like it might change my mind.

This pie was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

The filling was a little too tart for my taste, but the crust was perfect.

This pie was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used key limes instead of regular limes and it gave the pie a nice tart flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pie turned out perfect. The crust was flaky and the filling was tart and creamy. I will definitely be making this pie again!

This pie was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of the tangy lime filling and the creamy whipped cream was divine.
