Key Lime Pie

Ok, here is an easy recipe for Key Lime Pie. I sort of tweaked a few recipes to make this one. Takes about 5 mins to prep and seemed to be a real crowd pleaser.


For Filling:
5 egg yolks, beaten
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lime juice (I used bottled because I did not have fresh limes if you are using fresh you would probably need 4-5 limes, in that case, use the rind of one lime as well, that will really bring out the flavor)


Mix all ingredients together and set aside.


For crust:
1 1/2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1/2 cup sugar (you can use less if you want to)
6 tbsp butter/margarine (melted)


Mix all ingredients together and press into a 9 inch pie plate. Pour filling into the crust. Bake at 375 for 15 mins of until filling is set. Cool and then chill for an hour or until serving. Top with whip cream or whipped topping when ready to serve.
