Too early for real, fresh fruit pies here - but Spring brings Key Limes, and that means unbaked Key Lime Pie with a slightly sweetened sour cream topping.

I use pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs, so there is no issue with salmonella and I can move the pies from prep to cooler. Saves a load of time and makes a fabulous, flavorful, citrus-sweet & tangy dessert. Great with any seafood main dish.

Key limes are not the 'regular' large limes we find on the produce section. Those are great for countless dishes, from appetizers to desserts. Key limes are smaller, thinner skinned and more fragrant. They also produce less juice, so you need to have more of them.

Ingredientes

Cost per serving $0.96 view details
  • 14 -16 key limes, washed and cut in half, juiced to get 1/2 C
  • 1 regular lime zested to get about 1 Tbs
  • 4 pasteurized-in-the-shell egg yolks (only - save the while for other uses)) (you'll see a red 'P' on each shell. Its not uncommon to find them in stores. I don't recommend them for scrambled or any cooked eggs, but in this recipe, you don't bake the filling and you want to risk unpleasant episodes with your guests)
  • 1 14oz can of sweetened, condensed milk
  • 2 C graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 C good sour cream
  • 1 T confectioner's sugar

      Can you believe I've never made key lime pie and had no idea what was in it. Looks like a fabulous recipe. Thanks for sharing
