So many people ask me how to make an authentic key lime pie recipe. It is simple really, as you will see here. If you can get your hands on real key limes, they work best. Key limes are smaller and sweeter than regular limes. Regular limes work too, so go ahead and try it if you can't find key limes. Key Lime Pie Recipe15 graham crackers, crushed 2 tablespoons sugar ¼ pound butter 4 large eggs, yolks only (see the variation below and use the whites too) 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk 12 key limes, juiced or 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (3 to 4 regular limes) 2 teaspoons lime zest 1 cup whipping cream Preheat oven to 350°. Mix the crackers, butter and sugar together. Press into a 9” pie dish. Bake for 12 minutes until the pie shell is golden. Meanwhile beat the egg yolks with an electric mixer until they lighten in color and thicken. Add the condensed milk and ½ of the lime juice, and whisk until combined. Add the remaining lime juice and the lime zest. Mix to combine thoroughly. Pour the lime mixture into the pie shell, and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Whisk the whipping cream until it forms soft peaks. Cover the lime pie with the cream and serve.
