Key Lime Pie

Total Time

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min. + chilling

Makes

2 pies (8 servings each)

Ingredients

• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 3 large egg yolks
• 2 cans (14 ounces each) sweetened condensed milk
• 11 limes
• 2 graham cracker crusts (9 inches)
• TOPPING:
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• Lime slices

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Zest and juice 11 limes (will yield about 1-1/3 cups juice and 9 tablespoons zest). If desired, reserve the zest and juice of one lime for the topping. In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in egg yolks. Beat in milk, lime zest and lime juice. Pour into crusts. Place pies on a baking sheet. Bake until centers are almost set, about 22-25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, 3 hours or overnight.
2. For topping, attach wire whip attachment. In a clean bowl of a stand mixer, beat whipped cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and if desired, reserved lime zest and juice until stiff peaks form; pipe or spread over pies. Garnish with lime slices.
