Wilmington, DelaWhere?
I'd like to dedicate the first recipe post in this topic to the one and only Bloofington!
Key Lime Pie
1 can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup fresh lime juice (bottled is ok, Key Lime is best)
3 eggs
Prebaked pie shell
Whipped cream
Cinnamon
Separate the eggs and beat both whites and yolks in their separate containers.
Mix together 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup of lime juice and the beaten yolks. Then fold in the well-beaten whites.
Pour the mixture in a good flaky pie shell, already baked, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
When cool, place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. When serving, top pie with whipped cream.
One variation is to mix a tbsp. of rum in with the whipped cream and sprinkle with powdered cinnamon.
* This is the only recipe I know of for KLP that includes the egg whites. Not being one to waste and since the egg whites are almost pure protein (that makes the pie healthy right?), I have always included them. It makes for a "lighter" pie.
