Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie ranks up there with Mojitos in my list of favorite summer treats. This pie is guaranteed to be a success at all summer parties, with the added bonus that it is extremely simple and inexpensive to make! Laura enjoys pairing her pie with lager, though we typically recommend something a bit lighter.

Ingredients:
Between 3-5 Egg Yolks
14oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 cup lime juice
Zest from 1 lime
Graham Cracker Crust

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Beat the egg yolks until they are somewhat light and fluffy in texture
- Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to beat
- Mix in lime juice and zest from 1 lime (a few teaspoons)
- Pour into graham cracker crust and bake for 10 minutes
- Allow the pie to cool, then refrigerate and top with whipped cream.

Rather than spending all day squeezing limes/hunting down actual key limes, I opted to use the pre-packaged juice that comes in little lime/lemon shaped squirt bottles at the supermarket. The half cup required for this recipe is a little over 1/2 a bottle.

Enjoy!
