melissa's Notes:

This recipe I found on the Paula Dean website. Must give credit where credit is due!!

Too good not to share. Best Key Lime pie ever!! Delicious and serves a crowd. My favorite to bring to pot lucks, especially in the summer. Very refreshing!!
Alot of ingredients, but oh so worth it!!

 

Directions

1
In small sauce pan, mix lime juice and gelatin until completely disolved. Add 1/2 cup Heavy cream. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat and add white chocolate chips. Stir until blended. Set aside.
2
In mixing bowl; beat cream cheese, sugar, and lime zest until smooth. Slowley beat in chocolate mixture. In separate bowl; beat remaining cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into mixture.
3
Add melted butter to vanilla wafer crumbs till lightly moist and press into bottom and sides of 10" spring form pan. I have used both vanilla wafer crumbs and graham crackers. Any will do.
Pour pie mixture into crust and freeze 4 hrs. Serve cold. May set out about 30 minutes ahead to slice easier.

I'll be honest, I didn't measure when I used them. Depending on the size of your pan, I would start with about 4-5 cups of crumbs and stick of melted butter than go from there. You may have to add a little more butter if it's still too dry. Hope that helps!

Laura; I apologize if my typo in the title is toublesome to you..I'll be sure to fix that right away.

As far as the vanilla wafers... this recipe is meant to fill at 10" x 4" sping form pan. The crumbs go on the bottom and half way up the sides. 2 cups is not near enough. I know because I've made this several times. But thanks for the input. Yes, it is a beautiful pie. And it tastes pretty good too. ;-)
