Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie

Great with Fish!

Ingredients for the Crust:

• 1½ cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
• ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
• 5 Tbsp. butter, melted

Ingredients for the Filling:

• Two 14-oz cans sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 Tbsp. grated lime zest
• ¾ cup key lime juice

Ingredients for the Topping:

• 1 cup cold heavy cream
• 2 Tbsp. confectioners’ sugar
• 1 tsp. grated lime zest
• 8 to 10 thin lime slices

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter until the mixture is well combined.
3. Using your fingers and the bottom of a glass or dry measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a deep dish pie pan.
4. Bake for 10 minutes, until just slightly browned. Let the crust cool on a wire rack.
5. Lower the oven temperature to 350 F.
6. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, yogurt, lime zest and lime juice. Pour the thick mixture into the graham cracker crust.
7. Bake for 15 minutes, until the filling is almost set; it should wobble a bit.
8. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly for about three hours.
9. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
10. Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until medium peaks form.
11. Top the pie with the whipped cream. Decorate with the lime zest and lime slices.
12. Store the pie in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
