Key Lime Pie
- 3 eggs, yolks and whites separated
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
- 3/4 c. lime juice
- 1 (9-inch) baked and cooled pie shell (a frozen 9-inch pie crust, baked in its own aluminum container will not hold all the filling)
- 6 Tbsp. sugar
- Heat oven to 425u0b0.
- In a medium size bowl with an electric mixer, beat yolks and condensed milk at medium speed until pale and frothy.
- Continue beating while slowly adding the lime juice in a thin stream.
- Pour mixture into prepared pie shell.
- In a clean, dry bowl, whip egg whites at low speed until frothy; increase speed to high and add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition.
- When meringue is stiff, white and glossy, spread it over the pie filling, making sure edge of crust is covered.
- Bake 2 or 3 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Chill in refrigerator about 6 hours.
- Makes 8 servings.
