Key Lime Pie!

I randomly decided it was time to make key lime pie.  I've never made a pie before, so it was intimidating!  Oh, and the recipe said to get 20 limes - 20!  But I only used about 6, so now we have a lime explosion.

After all the juicing, our apartment smells like lime grove.


Before the oven...

Out of the oven!  (The specks are the zest) :)

Oh yeah!

Key Lime Pie

Ingredients

(Makes one pie)


1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust


3 cups sweetened condensed milk  (Buy 2 14-oz cans)


1/2 cup sour cream


3/4 cup key lime juice  (Buy about 14 regular limes for juicing & zesting – not sure the amount of key limes)


1 tablespoon grated lime zest

Directions

.                Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

.                In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.

Bake in preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie. DO NOT BROWN! Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.

(I cooked 10 minutes based on recommendations from other people.)
