Key Lime Pie

Summer is the best time for key lime pie! Here is my favorite go-to recipe for this tart treat! 

One 14oz can sweetened condensed milk

3 egg yolks 

1/2 C key lime juice 

1 TB finely grated lime peel 

*One 9-inch graham cracker pie shell 

(I make my own) 

Whipped cream for garnish 

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

*One sleeve (package) of graham crackers crushed 

About 3-4 TB butter melted

Pinch of sugar 

Combine and press into pie plate 

Add a pinch of sugar

For the pie: 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 

In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg yolks, lime juice, and lime peel and blend until smooth. Poor the mixture into the pie she'll and back in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. 

Remove from the oven and allow the pie to stand for approximately 10 minutes, then refrigerate. 

Enjoy plan or garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, mint, or both!
