Description
I am a Florida native who raised Key lime trees in the back yard. This recipe is as authentic as it gets. A real Key lime pie is plain, simple. This is the recipe I grew up with. I hope you like it.
Ingredients
- 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 4 jumbo egg yolks
- ½ cup Key lime juice
- 1 (8 inch) graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk condensed milk and egg yolks together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in Key lime juice; mixture will be thin at first but will thicken as it is whisked. Whisk until smooth and thick. Pour into the graham cracker crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until filling is firm to the touch and only slightly jiggly in the center
- 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool to room temperature
- then refrigerate before serving
- 5 hours to overnight.
