Mouth Watering Key-Lime Pie...It's So Simple

This is a perfect  pie for someone with very little time or for a beginner cook to impress guests or family. And it is a great summer dessert.

Ingredients

  • 9-inch graham cracker pie crust (Deep-dish if you can find it or 10-inch pie crust)

  • Four eggs (you will just use the yolks)

  • 2 (14-ounce) cans condensed milk

  • 1 cup of key lime juice (you could probably use regular lime juice, but the key lime is what made the flavor for me! We found ours at the local Harry's Farmers Market)

  • Sour cream

  • Powdered sugar

  • One lime for zesting (optional)

    Directions
    Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the condensed milk, key lime juice and egg yolks. Whisk until well blended and place the filling in the pie shell.


  • Once chilled, combine about a cup of sour cream to three+ tablespoons powdered sugar (do it to your taste) and use to dollop on the top. Some people spread the topping over the whole thing before serving, but I like to give people the option, though I personally love the sour cream/powdered sugar mixture. Cuts the tartness of the pie. Then freshly zest lime over the top of the sour cream as a garnish and serve chilled.
    Mmmmmmm Good. Take a bow.
