    Kneaders Key Lime Pie with a Pretzel Crust

    INGREDIENTS FOR THE CRUST
    1 cup + 2 Tbsp. pretzel crumbs
    3 Tbsp. sugar
    7 Tbsp. butter (melted)

    * Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9" pan with non-stick baking spray.
    * Crush the pretzels until very fine; processing in a food processor for about 30 seconds works well.
    * Add the sugar and melted butter, mixing to combine; you can do this right in the food processor.
    * Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
    * Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; the crust won't change color much, but will firm up. Remove from the oven and make the filling.

    INGREDIENTS FOR THE FILLING
    ½ cup fresh lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
    4 tsp. grated lime zest
    4 egg yolks
    1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

    * It's easiest to remove the lime zest from whole limes so start with that.
    * Cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice being careful to not include any seeds.
    * Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl until tinted light green. This takes about 2 minutes.
    * Beat in the milk, then juice and set aside at room temp till it thickens. Pour into the crust and smooth with a spatula.
    * Bake the pie for 28 to 32 minutes, until the filling is set, with a small spot in the middle still soft looking. Cool for several hours before serving. Top with whipped cream and a garnish of crumbled pretzels.
