Directions:Make graham cracker crust according to directions.
Combine yolks with ½ of the lime juice in a small pan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Once the mixture reaches 140º, remove from heat and immediately put in mixing bowl with sugar.
*At 140º it should look like pudding.
Beat egg yolks and sugar in mixing bowl until slightly thickened--4-5 minutes.

Scoop into pie crust and smooth.
Garnish with whipped cream.
Freeze for 24 hours before serving. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before slicing and serving. |

Notes: I love this traditional icebox key lime pie! Originally it was made without cooking the eggs, but for safety reasons I prefer to do it! I've tried many recipes that try to get around the eggs with a lot of different ingredients, but I don't think anything is as good as the original.
