Key Lime Pie

This is the first year I have had key limes from my tree.  Its ready to make some key lime pie!!

 

Ingredients

•  Graham cracker crust 
• 2 Cans  14 oz each  sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream--this is a little something extra a conch told me about years ago
• 3/4 cup key lime juice  about 15 Key Limes

Directions

Crust

• 1/3 cup butter , melted   
• 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs   
• 1/4 cup sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, . DO NOT BROWN! Chill pie thoroughly before serving.

This took 15 key limes from the tree. I roll them around a bit to get them juicy inside

I did not use any special tools just my hands to squeeze

If you have to buy these and you need every last drop. Use a garlic press to squeeze the juice out

 Do not buy the pre made crust. Is that even food? Those taste like card board

Its easier to make your own, taste better too

  Take your fork and press it to the pie pan

   Bake this for 7 mins

 Ready to bake

 

Let chill before serving

The traditional Key Lime Pie has a meringue topping

Some people like whipped cream

I dont like anything on mine
