key lime pie August 8th, 2012

   

This has got to be one of the best recipes I’ve ever tried – mostly because it was supremely easy and everyone liked it. WIN-WIN. Plus, I like buying a gigantic bag of limes at the grocery store… makes everyone wonder what in the world you’re up to. For what it’s worth, this recipe took 8 juiced limes. I also got to use my new zester, what a grownup I am.

   

Ingredients:  
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust  
3 cups sweetened condensed milk  
1/2 cup sour cream  
3/4 cup key lime juice  
1 tablespoon grated lime zest  

   

Directions:  

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind.

Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.

Bake in oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface. Do not brown!

Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.
