Key Lime Pie

Wonderful Key Lime Pie!NOTE:  This is the bet I have ever eaten, even in Florida.  Real Key limes are sometimes hard to find, so I sometimes use regular limes that work just as well .  This is a keeper recipe that that you will use again and again.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees.  Combine cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter and press into a 9-inch pie plate.  Bake for 8 minutes; cool.  Lower oven to 325-degrees.
  2. In large bowl, stir together the milk and lime juice until well blended.  Pour into crust.  Bake pie uncovered at 325-degrees for 25 to 28 minutes.  Chill 3 to 4 hours until firm.

Starting at edge of pie, flute canned whipped cream to a 3-inch rim all around.  Slice 1 lime into thin slices on a cutting board.  Let lime slices dry slightly on paper towel, turning occasionally.  Sprinkle with sugar and let dry completely.  Cut slices in half, and twist to make a curl.  Garnish pie with sugared lime slices.  Serves 8.
