Hello everybody, hope you’re having an incredible day today. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, key lime pie. It is one of my favorites. This time, I’m gonna make it a bit unique. This will be really delicious.

Key Lime Pie is one of the most popular of current trending meals on earth. It’s easy, it is quick, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions every day. They’re fine and they look fantastic. Key Lime Pie is something that I have loved my whole life.

We are big key lime pie fans and used authentic key lime juice. The pie was extremely dense like a very dense cheesecake. All of the KLP we have had in Florida (including very recently) has been smooth creamy and sometimes even very light as if whipped cream had been added.

To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have key lime pie using 9 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Key Lime Pie:

1. Get 1 FOR OREO CRUST
2. Take 24 whole oreo cookies
3. Prepare 1/4 cup melted butter
4. Prepare 1 FOR PIE FILLING
5. Get 5 egg yolks
6. Make ready 2 14 ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
7. Get 1 cup fresh lime juice, from either key limes or regular limes
8. Make ready 1/2 tsp lime zest grated from about 1/2 of your regular limes or 1 key lime
9. Prepare 1 dash salt

Can you use regular limes instead of Key limes? You can use regular limes in place of Key limes in any Key lime recipe. Key limes are a bit more tart than their traditional counterparts, but the results of this substitution will still be delicious. If Key limes aren't available in your grocery store, look for bottled Key lime juice near the other bottled lime juices.

Instructions to make Key Lime Pie:

1. FOR CRUST
2. FOR CRUST
3. Spray a 9 or 10 inche pie plate with non stick spray, lightly, this will help get the crust out easy.
4. Combine cookies and butter in food processor and whizz until finely ground. Put moist crumbs in your prepared pie plate and pack into an even layer around sides and bottom of pie plate. Freeze while making filling.
5. FOR LIME FILLING
6. Mix the egg yolks, condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest and salt, whisk or beat until thoroughly combined.
7. Pour into oreo crust. Bake in a 350 oven for 8 to 10 minutes just to lightly set and cook eggs, do not overcook!
8. Cool on rack, then chill.
9. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate shavings
10. NOTE This pie can be frozen, before serving thaw at toom temperature 15 minutes and garnish with the whipped cream and chocolate shavings, refrigerate any leftovers.

Cool the baked crust, and add the Key lime filling. This is the gold standard of key lime pie recipes. I live in Cuba where key limes are abundant, but Cuba also juices those limes and packages them in small boxes that contain about one cup each. I have tried both ways, with fresh key limes and that packaged lime juice and there is absolutely no difference. But that is Cuban lime juice.
