We had this pie in a Miami Beach restaurant back in the 50's and begged for the recipe. It's been a family favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 can(s)
- sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 c
- fresh lime, key lime or lemon juice (don't use bottled juice)
- wee bit
- green food coloring
How to Make Mom's Key Lime Pie
- 1Prepare 9” graham cracker crust, cool.
You might like this Graham cracker crust better than the store ones.
12 whole graham crackers, crushed
3 T. brown sugar
6 T. butter
350 degrees for 12” - 2Mix 1 can Borden’s Eagle Brand milk with ½ cup fresh lime, Key Lime or lemon juice. Stir until it thickens. Add green food coloring carefully.
- 3Pour into cooled crust and cover with ½ pint of whipped sweetened cream (I like heavy cream as it holds up longer). Refrigerate. Best if cut after it has chilled well.
