Key Lime Pie (SO Easy!)


So, some of you may know I'm quite the little homemaker ;) and I often make pies as well as cook at home most days of the week :) Well this is probably the easiest and most delicious key lime pie recipe you will EVER come across!!!

Ingredients

  • 5 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1 (14 ounce) can LOW FAT sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice or 5-6 limes
  • 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Combine the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk and lime juice. Be sure to add the zest from all all but 1 lime into the mixture (use the mini grater side of your cheese grater) Mix well. Pour into unbaked graham cracker shell.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Top with LOW FAT whipped topping and garnish with zest of remaining lime and slices if desired.

*Mina's Suggestions/Notes*

When I do bake, I always try to do so with low fat or fat free options. In something like this, you get enough fat and richness from the egg yolks that you won't taste a difference with low fat options... Just 
thought I'd mention it.  

- There's also no need for the lime zest or lime slices on top. Although I always add the zest of whatever citric fruit I'm cooking with, it really does take it to the next level in the flavor elevator. 

Happy Eating <3
