Key lime pie:


For the crust:
1 1/4 cups ground graham crackers
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
5 tbsp melted butter

For the filling:
4 large egg yolks, beaten
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tsp grated lime zest
1/2 cup key lime juice

This desert is easy to make, once you've squeezed the limes and scraped the peels for the zest.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon together in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix until moist. Press this mixture into the bottom and sides of an 8" pie pan to create the crust.

For the filling, mix together the lime juice, zest, condensed milk and egg yolks in a bowl. Pour this mixture into the crust and bake for about 25 minutes, until the center sets. Let cool, and refrigerate overnight.


Serve with whipped cream. This is a tangy, zesty desert I think you'll like.
