Key Lime Pie Method
Let’s get down to business.
Double Deep Graham Cracker Crustโฃโฃ
- Preheat the oven to 350F.โฃ
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and cinnamon.
- Add the melted butter and blend well.
- Use a flat bottomed glass to press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of your tart pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes on the lowest oven rack.โฃโฃโฃ
Key Lime Pie Filling
- In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. (Pictured below).
- โฃIn a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, condensed milk and lime juice. โฃMix well.
- โฃGently fold in 1/3 of your egg whites.
- Once incorporated, fold in the remaining egg whites.
โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ โ - Pour mixture into pre-baked crust.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- The filling should be just set. It will be puffed up (souffled) when it first comes out of the oven.
- Gently place it on a baking rack, it will deflate as it cools.

Garnish
Whip your cream to soft peaks and add icing sugar to sweeten.
Serve each piece of pie with a large dollop of cream.
