I had to make a pie for a church activity, and decided to make a kind I hadn't made before, which is always good and bad... Good because it makes me try something new and branch out of the norm, and bad because it's a pie, so I couldn't taste the final product before I took it to the activity. It wouldn't look good if I took a pie that had a slice already missing from it!
I was nervous the whole time, hoping it turned out and people would like it. And they did! A few people actually told me it was their favorite pie in the mix (there were about 12 others). I was able to sneak a piece once other people had dug into it, and I wasn't disappointed. It was quite delicious!
Graham Cracker Crust:
1 package of graham crackers, crushed
1/3 cup sugar
6 Tbls melted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter and cinnamon until well blended. Press into an 8 or 9 inch pie pan.
Bake on 375 for 7 minutes. Cool for about 30 minutes before filling with the key lime mixture.
Key Lime Filling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3 cups sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup key lime juice
1 Tbls grated lime zest
In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie. DO NOT BROWN! Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream.
