List of Ingredients
1/2 cup lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
4 teaspoons grated lime zest
4 egg yolks
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
11 graham crackers, processed to fine crumbs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Recipe
1. Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl until tinted
light
green. This takes about 2 minutes
2. Beat in milk, then juice and set aside at room temperature till it
thickens.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
4. Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in another bowl.
5. Add butter and stir with a fork until well blended.
6. Pour this mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and press over the bottom
and up
the sides of the pan. Try using the bottom of a measuring cup to make
sure
the graham cracker mixture forms a firm crust on the bottom of the pie
pan.
7. Bake on the center rack for about 15 minutes until the crust is
lightly
brown, remove and let cool to room temperature.
8. Pour the lime filling into crust, spread evenly, and then bake for
15
minutes until the center sets, but still wiggles when shaken.
9. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
10. Refrigerate for at least three hours until well chilled.
Some of you might like to serve it with a whipped cream topping or a
meringue topping. If the pie seems to be sticking to the pan when
serving,
try dipping the pan into a bowl of warm water to loosen it.
