Recipe Friday!!!





Today's Recipe is Key Lime Pie. Since we are now starting the fall season it is good to say 'good bye summer' with a nice big slice of pie!

Key Lime Pie

1 graham cracker pie crust (however you prefer to make it, pre made is easy or you may have a special recipe)
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup of key lime juice (if you can only get lime juice use 1 cup)
1  (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix the egg yolks, key lime juice and sweetened condensed milk together.  Pour into your prepared graham cracker crust.  Bake for 12 minutes.  Cool completely.  Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, add the powered sugar, finish whipping.  Top the cooled pie with the whipped cream.  Refrigerate until chilled.  Then enjoy!

I have always loved making Key Lime Pie.  It is easy and cools me on a hot day.  So I will be saying 'good bye summer' 'hello autumn' with a slice of pie.
