THE ULTIMATE KEY LIME PIE
This unusual pie was inspired by a version made by Fern Butters, who ran a small boardinghouse and dining room in the Florida Keys. According to David L. Sloan, a Key lime pie expert, President Truman used to travel to Key West just to enjoy Mrs. Butters' pie. The recipe contains vanilla ice cream, and is baked and then frozen. The end result is a pie with a soft and delicate filling reminiscent of Italian semifreddo. Most graham cracker pie shells are baked briefly before they're filled, but because this pie is frozen after it's baked, we recommend skipping the usual pre-bake for a tender, easily cuttable crust. For more on Sloan and the story behind Key lime pie, see Molly O'Neill's feature, "The Curious Case of Key Lime Pie." /* if (Epi.text.truncatedVersion) { Epi.text.truncatedVersion("recipeIntroText", "This unusual pie was inspired by a version made by Fern Butters, who ran a small boardinghouse and dining room in the Florida Keys.

Steps:
- Make the graham cracker and cereal crust:
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
- Spray a 9-inch pie plate liberally with nonstick vegetable-oil spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, honey-nut cereal crumbs, and brown sugar. Drizzle with the melted butter and stir until well combined. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Make the filling:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks for 1 minute. Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until pale and aerated, about 6 minutes. Add the ice cream and beat until smooth then add the lime juice and beat until combined. Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake until just set in the center, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely then freeze until chilled through, at least 1 hour. DO AHEAD: The pie can be baked and kept in the freezer, well wrapped, up to 3 days.
- Garnish and serve:
- Remove the pie from the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator for 20 minutes prior to serving.
- In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream and sugar and whip until soft peaks form. Cut the pie into slices and top each with a dollop of whipped cream.
