Key Lime Mousse Pie Recipes

Steps:

• For the graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Break up the graham crackers; place in a food processor and process to crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place the crackers in a large plastic bag; seal and then crush the crackers with a rolling pin. Add the melted butter and sugar and pulse or stir until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and side of a pie pan, forming a neat border around the edge. Bake the crust until set and golden, 8 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack; leave the oven on.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, in an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to beat until thick, 3 or 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice, mixing just until combined, no longer. Pour the mixture into the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
• For the topping: Whip the cream and the confectioners' sugar until nearly stiff. Cut the pie into wedges and serve very cold, topping each wedge with a large dollop of whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, milk and juice until smooth; fold in whipped cream. Pipe into tart shells. Garnish with raspberries and lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Grate the required zest and squeeze 1 cup juice from limes.
• In pot over medium heat, combine juice, sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and ginger.
• Cook, stirring often, until mixture coats back of spoon and instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees fahrenheit, about five minutes, (do not overcook or the mixture will curdle); then remove from heat.
• Stir in zest and food coloring if using it; then transfer to a large bowl and cover the surface directly with plastic wrap and regrigerate for about an hour.
• Meanwhile, in a small pot over low heat, warm 1/2 cup of the cream until it is about room temperature, warm to the touch.
• Sprinkle gelatin over the warmed cream; let stand for a minute or two to soften; over low heat cook, stirring constantly, until dissolved, 1-2 minutes; cool away from the heat for five minutes.
• At high speed, beat the 1/4 cup sugar with the remaining cream until soft peaks form.
• Reduce the speed to medium and gradually drizzle the gelatin mixture into the cream; beat until stiff; reserve one cup of the whipped cream mixture; cover and refrigerate.
• Fold remaining gelatin/cream mixture into the lime custard; cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
• Pipe or spoon mousse into glasses or bowls; top with reserved whipped cream and garnish as desired -- then pig out.

Steps:

• Whisk together zest, juice, sugar, salt, and eggs in a small heavy saucepan. Add butter and cook over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until thick enough to hold marks of whisk, about 5 minutes. Force through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then quick-chill in an ice bath, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Beat cream until it holds stiff peaks, then fold into custard gently but thoroughly. Spoon into glasses and chill at least 2 hours and up to 12.

Steps:

• To make the pie:Brush egg whites onto uncooked pie shell using a pastry brush, making sure the shell is evenly coated. Pour off any excess egg whites.
• Pre-heat oven to 350°F Place pie shell in oven and bake for 5 minutes.
• Shell should look golden brown. Let cool at room temperature.
• While the shell is cooling, mix the egg yolks and condensed milk together using a wire whip until incorporated. Pour the key lime juice and zest into the mixture of yolks and condensed milk, slowly mixing with the wire whip until incorporated.
• Add the key lime pie mixture into the cooled pie shell. Adjust the oven temperature to 250° F and bake pie for 25-30 minutes. The finished pie should have a "Jell-O"-like consistency. Place on a cooling rack for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. Cut into 8 even slices when serving.
• To make the whipped cream, Instructions:Using an electric mixer, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Using the whisk attachment, beat cream mixture on high speed for 2 minutes.
• Add the white chocolate mousse to the cream mixture and mix until it reaches the consistency of stiff peaks.
• Place the whipped cream into a piping bag with an open star tip. When serving, pipe it onto each piece of key lime pie. (If you do not have a piping bag, you can simply dollop a generous scoop of the whipped cream onto the center of each piece.).
• Cut a slice in your lime "wheels," twist and place in the center of each piece.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 1/2-inch glass pie pan with shortening.
• Beat sugar and butter for crust in a bowl on medium speed until smooth. Beat in flour, lime zest, and vanilla extract on low speed just until crumbly. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 13 to 16 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• While the crust is cooling, grind shredded coconut in a food processor into a coarse powder.
• Spread coconut powder thinly over the cooled crust.
• Prepare filling: Whip condensed milk, sour cream, lime and Key lime juices, and coconut cream in a medium bowl on low to medium speed until smooth. Add more lime juice or coconut cream to taste; it should be quite sour but not bitter.
• Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments just until soft. Mash with a spoon, then quickly add to the filling mixture and whip immediately on high speed to evenly distribute. Whip in food coloring on low speed, then gently fold in whipped topping.
• Pour filling into the pie pan. Cover and refrigerate until filling is fully set, at least 12 hours.
• Remove from the refrigerator. Shave white chocolate with a vegetable peeler over the pie to decorate. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.
