Key Lime Pie (without key limes) dairy
serves 8-10
Outside of Florida, key limes are only found in a few
specialty stores and markets that offer gourmet produce.
This recipe uses unsweetened bottled lime juice and the
juice and rind of a fresh lime to jolt jaded taste buds. A
dark chocolate pie crust sets off the sweet-tart, yellow
filling.
1/2 cup bottled unsweetened lime juice
3 egg yolks
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (not low fat)
juice and grated rind of 1 lime
1 (9-inch) chocolate crumb pie crust
whipped cream or whipped topping (optional)
Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, whisk together
the lime juice and egg yolks. Add the condensed milk, juice
and grated rind of 1 lime. Mix to blend thoroughly.
Mixture will be thick. Pour into the pie crust. Place on
a cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Cool for 10 minutes or so before placing in refrigerator.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream or whipped
topping if desired.
