Key Lime Pie



Key lime Pie
Crust:
1 package graham crackers
1/3 c. sugar
5 T. butter


With a food processor, or if you put the crackers in a zip lock bag and use a rolling pin, get the graham crackers to a very fine consistency. Mix in sugar and melted butter until fully combined. Pour in 9 inch pie pan. Evenly distribute around edges and bottom, then press into pan. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes, until edges start to darken.

Filling:
3 egg yolks
1 ½ t. lime zest
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
2/3 c. key lime juice

In a mixing bowl, whip egg yolks and zest for about 5 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix for another 5 minutes, should thicken up slightly. Slowly add in the key lime juice. Pour batter into crust, bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, garnish with whip cream and lime zest.
