KEY LIME PIE

This creamy, sweet, tangy pie is a southern staple. In the shop, we use only fresh key limes (they're an essential part of this masterpiece), which are imported from Mexico and Central America and are available year-round. Squeezing them does take some extra effort and determination, but it's worth all the trouble when you're rewarded with that first bite of fresh Key Lime Pie.

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie, 6 to 8 slices (level: moderate)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • To prepare the filling, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat together the egg yolks and lime zest, about 1 minute. Add the condensed milk and mix again. Reduce the speed to medium and add the lime juice. Mix for 1 more minute until thoroughly combined. Pour the filling into the pie shell.
  • To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pie is firm in the middle but still soft to the touch. Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the pie to cool and set for 45 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 1 more hour before serving.
  • When ready to serve, remove the pie from the refrigerator and evenly distribute the whipped cream across the top of the pie. If you choose, use a pastry bag to pipe the whipped cream or offset spatula to spread it to create a more finished look. Place a slice of lime on top of the whipped cream for decoration.
  • Key Lime Pie should be served cold. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Key limes are smaller, lighter in color, and more tart than more commonly found limes. The trick to getting the most juice out of them is to pop them in the microwave for ten seconds, then roll them on the counter before juicing them.

1 partially baked 9-inch Traditional Pastry Piecrust shell (page 6)
6 large egg yolks
3 teaspoons finely grated key lime zest
Two 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup fresh key lime juice
2 cups Whipped Cream (page 193)
1 lime slice

TORREY'S KEY LIME-IEST PIE

I have tweaked this over the years so that the filling doesn't need baking. I just LOVE this pie, but in my opinion, the crust is the BEST part of this pie. This has become a staple amongst my friends and family. Note** I don't add green food coloring, but you can if you want a "lime-colored" pie.

Steps:

  • Make the crust first. Pulverize the gingersnaps (I put them in a food processor but you can place them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin). Combine crust ingredients in bowl, and press into pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 min. Cool crust before filling.
  • A note about Key Lime juice: AlWAYS use KEY limes...they're the little tiny ones. Don't use regular limes--it won't taste right. If you can get them, use FRESH limes to make your juice. If fresh key limes are NOT available...I use bottled Key lime juice. Nellie & Joe's or Mrs. Biddle's key lime juices are GREAT.
  • In bowl, add cream cheese and condensed milk. Beat with a mixer until light and fluffy-ish. Add juice and zest and beat until smoooooth. (reserve some zest for garnishing).
  • Pour filling into cooled Gingersnappy crust. Chill. Garnish with whipped cream, lime slice and sprinkling of lime zest...or do what I do and mix the zest in the whipped cream for a tangy twist!

1 cup(s) key lime juice (must be key limes)
1 package(s) (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 can(s) (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp - key lime zest
- whipped cream or whipped topping
1 - key lime, sliced as garnish
GINGERSNAPPY CRUST
1 box(es) gingersnap cookies (about 16 0z)
1 stick(s) butter, melted
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) pecans, chopped
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper (trust me)
