Grumpy Dick's Key Lime Pie




Source of Recipe


Grumpy Dick's (South Florida restaurant)


Recipe Introduction


Grumpy Dick's in Plantation serves the world's best homemade Key Lime Pie ...John Cami, owner of Grumpy Dick's Seafood Grill, agreed to share the recipe. To simplify the Key Lime Pie recipe, we use a ready-made Keebler 10-inch graham cracker pie crust is available in most supermarkets.

Unless you have a juicer attachment for your food processor squeezing all those small Key (Mexican) limes for the 2/3 cup plus a tablespoon juice can be labor intensive to say the least. You might want to substitute some Nellie and Joe's Famous Key West Lime Juice available at supermarkets. That will give you the more pungent Key lime flavor you want.

The pie is baked just long enough so worries of raw egg yolks are put to rest. It is the addition of those egg yolks that give this version of Key Lime Pie its creamier and smoother texture than others.

List of Ingredients




Key Lime Pie:
2 2/3 cups sweetened condensed milk
5 large egg yolks
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon key lime juice
2 teaspoons key lime zest
1 (10-inch) graham cracker crust

Cream Topping:
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract



Recipe



To make pie: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together well milk and egg yolks. Whisk in lime juice and zest. Transfer to graham cracker crust. Bake in center of oven 20 to 25 minutes or until temperature reaches 140 degrees. Center should be just set but not firm. Remove to a wire rack to cool. When cool, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

To make topping: Place all ingredients in a chilled bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium, then high, speed until desired consistency is reached. (We like soft peaks.) Serve each piece of pie with ¼ cup topping. Makes 8 servings.


NOTE: We used the Keebler Ready Made 10-inch crust available at most supermarkets.
