Ingredients
Scale
- One batch of homemade pie crust, baked
- 1/2 cup strained key lime juice
- 4 tsp grated key lime zest
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 (15oz) can of sweetened condensed milk (or use this homemade sweetened condensed milk)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- In a large bowl, combine lime juice, zest, egg yolks and milk and whisk well (or use an electric mixer). The mixture will thicken as the citrus reacts with the milk.
- Pour into a baked pie crust and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the center is set but still jiggly (think thick Jell-o).
- Allow to cool on a rack for 1-2 hours, to room temperature, then store covered in the refrigerator.
- Serve with homemade whipped cream.
Notes
To make this recipe dairy free, substitute canned coconut milk for sweetened condensed milk. Or make this non-dairy sweetened condensed milk.
