Ingredients
- inch prepared graham cracker crust (homemade works fantastic too)
- 21 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 8 oz Nellie and Joe's Key West Lime Juice
- 1 lime sliced thin to garnish
HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3-4 TBSP powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Gently mix eggs and condensed milk with a hand mixer.
- Continue to beat on LOW while SLOWLY adding lime juice. Mix until juice has been incorporated into the filling.
- If the filling seems extra watery, or if you'd like a slightly sweeter pie, add an extra TBSP or two of sweetened condensed milk and mix.
- Pour into prepared graham cracker pie crust. If using a homemade crust, bake until golden and cool before adding the custard. If using store-bought, pour it right in.
- Bake at 350 F for 10-15 minutes. Mine is typically perfect after 14 minutes. Filling will be wiggly and pale. (should not be browned at all) Allow to cool completely on a cooling rack then transfer to fridge for a minimum of 3/4 hours. May chill overnight if desired.
- If making the homemade whipped cream, first place the beaters from an electric hand mixer and a large glass or stainless steel bowl in freezer. Keep cream in the fridge until ready to whip.
- After they've had time to chill (approx. 10-15 min) add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to your bowl. Start mixing on low speed, then increase the speed to medium-high until soft or stiff peaks form.
- Place bowl in fridge until ready to decorate. Pipe onto the pie using a star tip and piping bag or simply serve a dollop of fresh whipped cream on each slice. Thinly sliced lime wedge make a pretty garnish.
