Key Lime Pie

This recipe makes one key-lime pie, substitute any fruit or cream filling recipe you might have for other great pie flavors.

TOOLS NEEDED:

• 9” Pie Pan (Fat Daddio’s PIE-9)
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups/spoons
• Electric mixer

INGREDIENTS: Graham Cracker crust

• Graham cracker crumbs (about 10 graham crackers), 1 ½ cups
• Melted butter (unsalted), 7 tbsp
• Packed brown sugar, ¼ cup
• Salt, 1/8 tsp

1. Stir graham crackers, brown sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Add melted butter and stir in until everything is evenly combined.
2. Press mixture into 9” pie pan firmly (sometimes using something like the bottom of a water glass can help to press against the pie pan). Make sure it is evenly dispersed along the bottom and up the pan walls.
3. Refrigerate pie crust for at least an hour. This helps it set the way baking does only without the oven.

KEY LIME FILLING:

• Sweetened condensed milk, 1 can (14 oz.)
• Lime juice, 1/2 cup
• Grated lime peel, 1 tsp
• Whipped cream, 2 cups

1. Beat sweetened condensed milk and lime juice in a small bowl until they are combined.  Slowly stir in lime peel.

3. Spread the whipped cream evenly on top.
4. Refrigerate for at least two hours, or until the filling is set.
