Ingredients: Graham Cracker Crust
Ingredients:
1.5 cups of fine graham cracker crumbs (I buy the Honey-Maid packs and pound one in a plastic bag. It's super fun.)
1/3 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pie filling
Ingredients:
3 cups sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup key lime juice (I buy it bottled)
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
Whipped Cream
Ingredients
1 cup heavy whipping cream or heavy cream
2-4 tablespoons sugar
1-2 tsp of flavored extract or syrup (Vanilla is always good but I have also done half vanilla extract and half maple syrup)

Directions:Directions
Mix crust ingredients together.
Pack it evenly into a pie plate.
Bake at 375 for 7 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix pie filling ingredients together and pour it in your beautiful pie crust.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Whip the cream with a mixer until it just starts looking like whipped cream.
Beat in the sugar and extract. I like to taste and experiment at this point. Sometimes you'll want a sweeter cream topping or sometimes you'll want a stronger extract flavor. Just don't overbeat; you've gone too far if your whipped cream starts looking lumpy.
Spoon the whipped cream on the cooled pie, and garnish with some leftover lime zest. |
