Great Key Lime Pie
Tried out a new key lime pie recipe and loved it.
1 graham cracker crust, the large Kebler size
(the one labeled 2 extra servings) works well or make one.
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
(we use our Tongan limes but ordinary limes also work)
4-8 egg yolks (recipe calls for 8 I've done as few as 4 and it all works ok)
mix egg yolks and zest from the limes in a bowl and beat well, add the milk and lime juice and beat until well mixed. Let sit at room temp while you do the crust.
toast crust in 350 degree oven for 5-10 min until it just starts to smell good.
Pour in pie filling and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until middle is still jiggly but edges set.
Cool for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack then put in refrigerator to cool completely, say about 2 hours or so.
Serve very small slices with whipped cream if you wish
