Key Lime Pie

tangy, refreshing, decadent
and best of all...
SUPER easy to make!

the local produce stand (Firehouse on Pacific Ave) had a bag of key limes for $.99, so i decided to give this pie a try. after juicing what seemed like 900 little key limes, my fingers were tired! thankfully, the rest was easy to throw together...and can i just say, it was worth the effort. yes, very much worth it. i am investing in a hand held lime juicer for next time, though :o]

here's the recipe...the great part is that it's pretty inexpensive to make. big bonus!

4 egg yolks, beaten
2 (14 oz) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 cup key lime juice (about 1 bag of key limes will render this much juice)
1 graham cracker pie crust (you could make your own and save even more $)

preheat oven to 350 degrees

combine egg yolks, condensed milk, and lime juice. make sure everything is incorporated.

pour into pie crust and bake for 15-17 minutes.

let cool, then place in the refrigerator.

enjoy!!!
