Key Lime Pie
- 28 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 5 Egg yolks plus one whole egg
- 2/3 cup Key lime juice
- 1 1/2 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 pints Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 stick Melted butter
- 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.
