~How To Make A Super Easy Key Lime Pie~

You're going to think that you are in the Tropical Keys!

Directions;

Start with your graham cracker crust;

And once you learn to make your own you will not want

 Those store bought ones again!

 Graham Cracker Crust

1 package graham crackers

(You can use a food processor or

 Place them in a bag and crush them with your rolling pin)

In a bowl, add these items;

Graham crackers

1/4 cup Sugar, or less (I do not like mine too sweet)

6TBL. Melted Butter

Mix together and press into a 9-inch pie pan

Bake at 350 degrees for 4 minutes

Until just lightly browned

(Do Not Overcook)

I love the smell of this crust!

Once it is baked, let it cool!

Now, for the Key Lime Pie Filling;

In a bowl now add these three ingredients;

1 can (14oz.) Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/3 cup lime juice (fresh or bottled)

1tsp. Grated lime peel (You will need a zester tool for this)

Beat sweetened condensed milk and lime juice until combined;

Stir in your lime zest.

Pour into the cooled pie crust;

Spread with whipped Cream,

Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.

Making Fresh Whipped Cream

1 pint size of whipped cream

1/4 cup powder sugar

2tsp. Of vanilla

Any day!

Or for a cool, quick refreshing spring or summer dessert!
