The second half of my day’s adventures in pies–Key Lime Pie! Burnt out from making the banana cream pies in my too-small kitchen, I used a prepared pie crust. This recipe is very, very easy! Really, anyone could make this. I didn’t even have to write down the recipe! I halved it and ended up with six miniature pies, and they all disappeared within the day (Joseph had four, I had two). I think I’ll keep this around as a go-to when we’re craving easy sweets.
Key Lime Pie from Allrecipes.com
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust (or 12 miniature ones)
3 cups sweetened condensed milk
½ cup sour cream
¾ cup key lime juice
1 Tbs grated lime zest
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie. Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.
My, my, my….Key Lime Pie!!! Ahem, that’s a Kenny Chesney song, just FYI
OHH I’m so glad I saw your post, I was going to make this same recipe! I love your idea of making the mini pies, how many pies did you get out of this recipe?
I halved the recipe and got six mini pies, so the recipe as it’s written should give you 12! I hope you like it!
It is a real pain reading your blog.
The pain, being in my stomach..
