1 Full Cup of Nellie's & Joe's Authentic Key Lime Juice . . .
1 Pint of Heavy Whipping Cream.
Confectioners Sugar (to be added to Whipping Cream)
1/2 stick of Real Butter
1 Choclate Graham Cracker Pie Crust (Commercial, pre-made)
1 Shortbread Pie Crust (Commercial, pre-made)
(Option #1 = 2 Standard and boring, Graham Cracker Crusts)

Melt 1/2 stick butter (Micro-Nuke for 20 seconds) &
brush this deadly coating onto the inside of the pie crusts.

Pre-heat oven to 350*F (Real Eggs = Bacteriological Biohazard)

Separate the whites from 9 of the eggs, feed the white to the pets.
You only want the yolks. That's where the cholorestoral hides.
What we want here is to be able to stop the heart.

Use the remaining 3 eggs whites and all, why not - cat can't eat ALL the whites.

Beat eggs and sweetened milk together until it is an even mixture, and rather slowly
pour the cup of Key Lime juice into the egg/milk blend, only add a little at a time.
Yes, slow - slower, slower, there - you've got it.
Resist the urge to flip the speed to high and pull the beaters out of the mixture.
It's easy to predict novel ways to make big messes.

Pour 1/2 of the mixture into each of the pre-greased crusts, &
place in oven. Baking time is 25 minutes at 350*F.

Remove from oven when done, let stand to cool to room temperture.
Place in freezer until frozen.

Beat 1 small container of Heavy Whiping Cream, add sugar 1 Tablespoon at a time until it thickens.
Spread lightly over the surface of the frozen Key Lime Pies.
Return to freezer.

You can garnish them with thin slices of lime if you feel so inclined.

Allow to staand down on table for 30 minutes from freezer before serving.

The best Key Lime Pie you'll ever have.

. . . Gotta go, mine are ready to come out of the oven . . . .

EDIT: It came out perfect

Not exactly. Good fresh eggs, are not that much of a salmonila hazard so long as you take care when you crack them open. The idea is to not break them on the side a bowl or with a butter knife; this forces the outside shell into the inside. I've been told that the outside shell is where the salmonila actually is, and by forcing the shell inside, you've just contaminated the egg. The best way to crack eggs (as told by my culinary instructor) is on a countertop or flat surface so the shell doesn't get forced inside and touch the egg.

Is freezing necessary? I don't like frozen desserts. If it sets fine being refrigerated I'd try the recipe. Sounds yummy!

Edited for my misspelling of dessert...:roll:...nobody likes a frozen desert.

The freezing is only to help set the whipping cream & keep it from running.
You thaw it out to room temoerature before cutting and serving.

An option is to use the whites that were left over from the separating from the yolks
to whip up a merangue to top the pie with. Bake the pie at 325*F for 20 minutes,
remove the pie and add the merangue topping, increase the temoerature to 350*F
& bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the merangue.

Some people like merangue, I do not.

I worked this recipe out over a 12 year time span while living in Orlando, & had a
chance to sample and blend out several combinations - this is the best one.

You have anything in a Cherry or Pecan?

A lot of places try to pass off a Lime Jello Pie as Key Lime - it's not even close.

I'm working on a 'Hair' derivative of the Key Lime though.

It's the only thing I can cook - I burn water.

Takes about 15 - 20 minutes to blend up.

I wrote the original post while I was making it.
It yielded 16 peices, which lasted 12 minutes at work before it was gone.

It's almost like a cheesecake when you're done.

I have a great cheesecake recipe and the secret is 1/2 dozen egg yokes. I can't remember the recipe exactly but it has something like 2 packages cream cheese, 4 cups sour cream and 6 egg yokes (pretty sure it was 6...might be more) and some sugar. 1C IIRC??? Not sure on this part. 3T fresh squeezed lemon juice. Anyway, springform pan with graham cracker crust, bake until set. It's the best!

OH MAN! I gotta try this. My wife one-upped me on cooking last night by making authentic Thai Fried Rice and eggrolls and THEN made a cheesecake dessert. I'm gonna do dessert tonight and see how she likes it. Maybe I'll get lucky!?!?! YEAH BABY!
