Quick Key Lime Pie Pudding

• 6 egg yolks
• 14 ounces condensed milk
• 1/2 cup fresh squeezed key lime juice
• 2 tbl. zest of key limes (more or less, to your taste)
• creme fraiche, whipped cream or toasted meringue garnish
• key lime wheels for garnish

1. Be sure to wash your key limes before using. Then whisk the egg yolks with the condensed milk and key lime juice.
2. Using a double boiler or heavy sauce pan with attentive, careful, constant stirring, bring almost to a boil. Continue to stir as the pudding simmers slowly and thickens. When thickened, stir in the lime zest and heat for 2 more minutes.
3. Pour into individual serving dishes. Place cut parchment paper on top to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool. Serve chilled with a garnish of creme fraiche or whipped cream and fresh key lime wheels. Alternatively, you can top with egg whites beaten stiff with a little sugar then toasted under the broiler until browned or torched. If you could serve this with a homemade graham cracker, it would be just like a pudding pie.
