FROZEN LIME CREME PIE

Frozen Lime Cream Pie

The other day I was watching The Nate Berkus Show and his guest was Katie Lee. She made an awesome looking Lemon Creme Pie. I got the recipe and adapted it to lime juice instead of lemon only because I had limes in the house and used real eggs. It is so easy to make and delicious. For a party you could make small tart size pies.

Ingredients:
For the crust:
2 cups finely crushed graham crackers crumbs
1/3-cup sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:
One 14  ounce can sweetened condensed milk
4 extra large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons grated lime zest
¾ cup fresh lime juice

Whipped cream , optional


Directions
For the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 350°F
In a medium bowl, combine the graham crackers crumbs, sugar, and salt. Stir in the butter. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan. Evenly press across the bottom and up sides to make a crust. Bake 12 minutes. Let it cool completely.
For the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the condensed milk, egg yolk, sugar, lemon zest, and juice. Whisk until all the ingredients are completely blended. Pour the filling in to cooled crust. Freeze for at least 2 hours.

Top with whipped cream..
