Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place egg yolks plus one whole egg in large mixing bowl. Whisk for a couple of minutes until frothy. Add 2 14 oz cans sweetened condensed milk to eggs. Also, add Key lime juice here. Continue to whisk until smooth. Pour into prepared pie shell. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Let cool. I put in refrigerator overnight and add whipped cream toppling the next day. But you can top the pie after it cools down.

Prepare pie crust. Place graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, brown sugar, and pecans in food processor. Pulse to mix ingredients. Do not over mix as the pecans will break up too much. I like to have chunks of pecans in my pie shell. Pour this mixture into 9" pie pan. Pour melted butter over mixture. Mix thoroughly and form around the pie pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Topping. In mixer whip the cream until it is very stiff. Add sugar after stuff peaks are formed to assure maximum stiffness. I use a decorator piping tool to cover the entire pie. You can simply pour topping over pie and spread if you like.

Place completed pie in refrigerator overnight for best results.

Some people like to add the zest of one lime finely chopped into the pie. Others will add the zest sprinkled over the topping. I do not add the zest to mine.

Chop zest of 1 lime very fine. Then soak zest in the juice of this lime plus 1 tbsp of sugar for about 15 mins. Drain, squeeze as much liquid off as possible. Then sprinkle over top of pie for yummy garnish.

This is pretty requested in our household. If you don't have fresh key limes available to you and can't find the bottled key lime juice, you can use regular limes in a pinch. Just keep in mind that they're a little more tart. Recipe Source : Sallys Baking Addiction Cookbook Christina -

Key Lime Pie Key Lime Pie
I made this often with fresh key limes when we lived in California, where we had a tree full of them. Now they are hard to get so I use regular limes fresh juice is really the best flavor with either lime! It can be made in the traditional 10 inch pie pan or in 4 -3 inch tart pans as I made in the photo for 4 individual pies fenway -
Key Lime Pie Key Lime Pie
Nothing says summer like the light citrus flavor of key lime pie! As we are quickly blowing through the summer season it occurred to me, I had not made a key lime pie all season. With thirty minutes to spare and not a single key lime in the house... I pulled together this delicious, gorgeous pie. The meringue is optional but gives such an improvement to the look of an otherwise lifeless looking pie. Also, I do not use food coloring (what's in that stuff anyway) but if synthetic and complicated chemical names are your thing you can green your pie up as you see fit. Regardless of pie color and meringue, this pie is a silky citrus filled treat for any occasion. I hope you enjoy. Nena's.cook.nook -
