Scale
1– unbaked 9″ graham cracker crust

1–14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup Nellie & Joe’s Key Lime juice concentrate
2 teaspoons grated lime zest, optional
Key Lime Flavored Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar, sifted
1/4 teaspoon Key Lime juice concentrate
Instructions
- Prepare graham cracker crust. Be sure to butter pie plate before pressing into pie plate. Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In large mixing bowl and wire whisk attachment, beat egg yolks until very fluffy, thick and lemon colored.
- Gradually add condensed milk and continue to beat until thick, about 4 minutes. Lower speed and add key lime juice concentrate and lime zest, mix until combined.
- Pour filling into partially baked graham cracker crust. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until center of pie is set.
- Remove from oven and cool. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving pie.
- Serve with fresh whipped cream and lime zest/kiwi slices.
Optional Key lime glaze for dessert plate drizzle. Mix 1/3 cup lime juice with 2/3 cup confectioner’s sugar. Drizzle on dessert plate in zig zag.
Notes
- Be sure when separating egg yolk from the whites that you do not get any egg white mixed in with the yolk. It will inhibit your pie filling volume.
- Make a key lime glaze to drizzle on dessert plate if desired.
