Key Lime Pie


I have been watching the HBO mini series MILDRED PIERCE starring Kate Winslet.  Personally, I still prefer the black and white 1945 version with Joan Crawford.  But watching the show has inspired me to add a pie recipe to my blog.


Serves 6

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
4 egg yolks
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup Key limejuice
1/3 cup sour cream

Whipped cream (optional)

8” pie plate

Preheat oven 325 degrees.
Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a bowl.
Press evenly on the bottom and sides of an 8” pie plate. 
Chill while preparing the filling.
Beat the egg yolks in a large bowl until thick and pale yellow - 7-10 minutes.
Add the milk, limejuice and sour cream and beat until blended.
Pour into the crust and bake for 20 minutes or until center feels set when touched.
Cool on rack and chill in refrigerator.

Serve with fresh whipped cream on the side.
