KEY LIME PIE
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons white sugar
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 eggs
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cream of tartar
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 lime
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix graham cracker crumbs with
sugar and melted butter. Press into 9 inch pie plate and bake
for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. If using fresh
fruit, squeeze into a measuring cup to get 1/4 cup of juice
from each. Separate 2 of the eggs, placing the two egg whites
into a mixing bowl. Reserve the yolks in another bowl. To the
yolks, add one whole egg, 1/2 cup juice and sweetened condensed
milk. Mix well. With clean mixer blades, beat the egg whites
until stiff, but not dry, adding cream of tartar after about
20 seconds. Fold whites into filling mixture. Pour filling
into partially baked crust. Bake in preheated 325 degrees for
10-15 minutes or until set. Let cool at room temperature, then
freeze 4 hours to overnight. Right before serving, whip cream
to form stiff peaks. Serve decorated with whipped cream and
lime slices.
