I had a great Aunt who lived in Opa Locka, Florida who made the best Key Lime Pie you ever wanted to eat... One thing I looked forward to when traveling to Florida was eating her great pie.. She's dead now and she took her recipe to the great beyond with her...I have a recipe for Key Lime Pie here...Probably no where near as good as hers was...but it'll do just the same. I hope you like it.. The preparation time for this is a little more than twenty minutes.
Ingredients:
5 egg yolks, beaten
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup key lime juice
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust ( You can get this from Acme, Giant, Fresh Grocer or Shoprite.)
Directions :
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.Combine the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk and lime juice. Mix well. Pour into unbaked graham cracker shell.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Top with whipped topping and garnish with lime slices if desired.
Prep Time: 2o Minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ready In: 35 Minutes
Enjoy this with a cup of tea before you go to bed tonight...It's a slice of pure heaven.

I adore key lime pie!
ReplyDeleteI love me some Key Lime Pie Keith!
ReplyDeleteOMG Keith, what a start and with my top 2 favorite pie! Just marked this page as a favorite. I love eating good food and talking about it too.
ReplyDeleteThose big limes we have access to all year round are not "key" limes, they're hothouse grown. Perhaps that's why Snooks' pies tasted so good. Key limes are tiny and produce very little juice. Those key limes are a specialty of FLA. The "persian" limes that are sold in the US are juicier but the flavor is not as intense.
And you know my stance on "store-bought." It's just too easy to make a cookie crust. You need some cookies, melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Any kind of cookie will work. Vanilla wafers, graham crackers or even my favorite - animal crackers (they make a really good pie crust.)
Love it, love it!!
Okayyyyy! You are givin it to the people!
