Mom's Key Lime Pie image

We had this pie in a Miami Beach restaurant back in the 50's and begged for the recipe. It's been a family favorite.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c fresh lime, key lime or lemon juice (don't use bottled juice)
wee bit green food coloring

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare 9" graham cracker crust, cool. You might like this Graham cracker crust better than the store ones. 12 whole graham crackers, crushed 3 T. brown sugar 6 T. butter 350 degrees for 12"
  • 2. Mix 1 can Borden's Eagle Brand milk with ½ cup fresh lime, Key Lime or lemon juice. Stir until it thickens. Add green food coloring carefully.
  • 3. Pour into cooled crust and cover with ½ pint of whipped sweetened cream (I like heavy cream as it holds up longer). Refrigerate. Best if cut after it has chilled well.
