Key Lime Pie

Key Lime PieNothing says summer like key lime pie!  My husband absolutely LOVES key lime pie… and I’ve noticed our bank account slowly dwindling by his frequent purchases of it.  A bakery we like in Tribeca charges $22.00 for one pie! Now, the pie is good, but it’s not THAT good!  In an attempt to keep us from the poorhouse, I went to www.allrecipes.com to find a quick and easy key lime pie recipe.  I found this one, which only takes about 30 minutes to make.  The picture above is of my actual finished pie.  It was delicious, and most importantly it was cheaper than $22.00!

Ingredients

  • 5 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice
  • 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Combine the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk and lime juice. Mix well. Pour into unbaked graham cracker shell.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Top with whipped topping and garnish with lime slices if desired.

    I was actually able to find a recipe that doesn't require the eggs from Allrecipes….talk about delish! You'll have to try it. This was first time making a key lime pie I never knew they were so good. Personally, I cheated and bought store made whip cream but next I will be more creative and make my own.

    Im sure your hubby would love it…

    That sounds easy to make, and probably a little healthier without the egg! I’m so glad you made your own key lime pie… I think everyone should try it at least once :-)
