Directions:Preheat oven to 325. Beat egg yolks on low speed, gradually beat in SC milk and lime juice until smooth. Stir in food coloring (optional). Pour mix into crust. Bake 30 min. Remove from oven. Increase temperature to 350. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar on medium speed, 1 tbs at a time; beat 4 min longer or until sugar is dissolved and stiff, glossy peaks form.

Notes: Pop loved key limes. He was always the one to squeeze the lemons and limes, though, and he didn’t really feel like key lime pie was worth the effort.
