JoSele's Notes:

Gosh I have had this recipe for ever and a day...It is Tart and Sweet at the same time...as some would same it does have Pucker Power. It has always reminded me of when we used to go to Marie Callenders Restaurant I always ordered Key Lime Pie.
There are many variation of Florida Key classics, some made with flakey crust, but this is my favorite one. It is creamy, tart lime filling and topped with whipped cream and a wonderful garnish.
This is a stock picture for now till I put mine up.
You are welcome to add yours too.

Directions

Graham Crust: Preheat oven to 350* 9" Pie Plate
Lightly spray pie plate with butter spray.
Blend crumbs, butter, and sugar in a bowl. Spoon into pie plate and, using wax paper press firmly against sides and bottom (not over rim). Bake 8-10 min Let cool before filling.

Filling: While the crust is cooling start your filling. Beat yolks with condensed milk just to blend, add lime juice and beat until smooth (filling will be soft). Tint pale green and pour into graham shell. Chill 2 hourx

Whipping Cream: Heavy cream, in large bowl, put in sugar (you might want to put a towel over the mixer) becareful not to get it twisted in the mixer. Put the setting on high, till you have stiff peaks.

Pull pie out of frig and spread whip cream over the top of the pie garnish with lime zest. Put back into frig for several hours before serving or better yet overnightso the filling is somewhat firm, (it will never really be completely firm)

Serve with lime slices, you may want to sprinkle a bit of suger on the limes.

Yuummm Yum, I love making key lime pies AND eating them!!! I also have this recipe...except I usually put it in my homemade pastry crust. We like the pastry crust better than a graham cracker crust.
BUT, I've made it both ways and both are awesome.

Jane just smack GW's hands back and eat the whole thing in front of him saying yum yum all the way....LOL So good to talk to you, what fun!
Bonnie I did Pan this morning got 29.8 grains had a nugget weighing 16.2 grains not to bad for a days work HUH...Then I got my nails done...I hope this comes out so yummy for you. We are some crazy girls!
Cin, Ive used different types of pie crusts, graham, my flakey pastry, corn flake, butter crust. I like the graham crust because of the crunch for some reasn and I can buy the grahm crumbs at the whole food that is not sweet so you can sweeten it as much as you like. Thank you Cin so much. that is sweet.

I am making my blue ribbon taco salad for dinner tonight....YUM
