OH SO CREAMY AND FLUFFY KEY LIME PIE



Oh so Creamy and Fluffy Key Lime Pie image

We recently went to the Gaylord Texan Hotel over Christmas and had a slice of heaven in the form of a key lime pie delivered to our room. It wasn't to tart or to sweet and was oh so creamy. I was trying to recreate it for my DH birthday and hopefully got pretty close. He liked it - asked me to put some back so it wasn't totally eaten up by the family :). I also made some key lime sauce from debloves2cook recipe #166790 and put it on the plate as part of the presentation. Gave each plate a great look as well as a little lime kick. Cook time is refridgeration time. See the bottom of the instructions for a gluten free pie crust variation.

Time 4h30m

Yield 1 pie, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons butter, melted
5 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1.5 (21 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup key lime juice (ex ( Nellie & Joe famous Key West key lime juice)
sweetened whipped cream (to garnish) or Cool Whip (to garnish)

Steps:

  • CRUST:.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Combine all the ingredients and then press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9" glass pie plate.
  • Bake for 8 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  • Turn the oven down to 300.
  • *~OR Use a store bought deep dish graham cracker crust~*.
  • FILLING:.
  • Meanwhile, whisk cream cheese, condensed milk, egg yolks and lime juice to combine.
  • In a seperate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks begin to form. (When you lift up the beaters, the peaks should hold and still look glossy).
  • Fold into the cream cheese/lime mixture until just combined. Don't over mix - this is what gives the pie it's fluffy texture.
  • Pour into the cooled pie crust and bake for 25 minutes or until set. Pie will be solid with just a little wiggle in the middle when moved.
  • Remove from oven. Cool and refridgerate until firm, at least 4 hours.
  • TO SERVE:
  • Garnish with whipped cream or cool whip and a little key lime sauce from debloves2cook recipe #166790.
  • GF VARIATION:
  • Mix 1 1/2 cups crushed gluten free chocolate chex and 5 tablespoons melted butter for the crust (Don't need to add any extra sugar because the chex is already sweetened.)
  • Continue with directions above.

CREAMY MANGO KEY LIME PIE



Creamy Mango Key Lime Pie image

I love Key lime pies and I also love mangos, so I thought why not combine the two? This pie ended up being so good and refreshing. It's not too tart and the flavors really balance each other out.

My DH say's that mine is the best Key Lime Pie he's ever had! I was SO HAPPY!! He used to live in Florida, and said it tastes just like the pie you get down there. (I was very proud and relieved to hear that! I was really nervous to make him one!) Hope you give my recipe a try. It's a wonderful, easy and no-fail recipe!

  • ***You can save the egg whites and make a meringue top if preffered. But we like the cool, smooth creaminess of sweetened whipped cream much better than meringue. ;).
  • The only other thing I do, is I do add 2 drops green food coloring to the pie for a bit of green color. But this is totally up to you!
  • *If preferred, you can also bake this pie in a 9" deep dish pastry crust.
