South Florida is famous for Key West Key Lime Pie. With a Graham Cracker Crust and sweetly tart filling, you will dream of being in the tropics.

Key West Key Lime Pie

As a result of growing up in Miami and spending weekends in the keys, I’ve had Key Lime Pie from all over South Florida.

A real Key Lime Pie only has a few ingredients.

I like to bake pies in my Lodge Cast Iron Skillet, but…….

I have added an option in the recipe down below, for those who want to use their Pressure Cooker.

This Key West Key Lime Pie fits perfectly in a 7 inch Cheesecake/Push Pan.

 


20160121_131024

Add graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor.

20160121_131554

And sugar.


20160121_131631

Pulse until small crumbs form.


20160121_131659

Add melted butter and combine.

Press the crumbs into a well greased Cast Iron Skillet, Pie Plate or 7 inch Cheesecake/Push Pan.

Push the crumbs only slightly up the edge of the pan.

While the Crust is baking, prepare the  Filling.


Mixing Photo

In an Electric Hand Mixer, fitted with a wire whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to beat until thick, 3 or 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice, mixing until just combined.

Pour mixture into the crust and then bake.

After the pie is cooked, you’ll add the a thin layer of sweetened sour cream and then refrigerate until you are ready to serve.

Cut the number of pieces you will need and put them in the freezer while you are making the whipped cream topping.

I was serving the whole pie, so I added the whipped topping to the pie, prior to serving.

Garnish the Key West Key Lime Pie with Lime Zest. This microplane does a nice job. Don’t grab the pith.

Make your own Homemade Whipped Cream to serve with the Key West Key Lime Pie.

Serve wedges with a dollop of whipped cream and a garnish with bit of Key Lime Zest.

Whip cream and confectioners’ sugar until nearly stiff and pipe along edge of pie.

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1/3 pound Graham Crackers 1/3 of a 1 pound box
  • 5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter melted
  • 1/3 cup White Sugar

Filling

  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Key Lime Zest
  • 14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 2/3 cup Key Lime Juice (freshly squeezed is best)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • See my Perfect Whipped Cream recipe
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream chilled
  • 3 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar

Instructions

Crust

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie pan, cast iron pan or springform pan.
  • Add graham crackers and sugar into the bowl of a food processor.  Pulse until small crumbs form.  Add melted butter and combine.
  • Press crumb mixture into pan, forming a neat border around the edge and slightly up the sides.
  • Bake until set and golden, about 8 minutes, and set aside. Keep oven on.

Filling

  • In an electric mixer with a wire whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  • Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to beat until thick, 3 or 4 minutes longer.
  • Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour mixture into the crust.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until filling has just set.  Cool for 20 minutes on a wire rack. 

Topping

  • Mix together sour cream and confectioners' sugar until well combined. Spread thin layer over Pie. Refrigerate, until ready to serve.
  • Prepare my Homemade Perfect Whipped Cream before serving.   Using a Food Processor or Electric Hand Mixer, whip heavy cream and sugar together until stiff peaks form. Pipe on top of pie and garnish with Lime Zest Garnish.

For Pressure Cooker

  • Use a 7 inch Pan.  Add 1.5 cups of water to pressure cooker cooking pot and place a Trivet in pot.  Using a Foil Sling, lower Pan into Pressure Cooker.
    Lock on lid and close Pressure Valve.  Cook at High Pressure for 10 minutes.
    When Beep sounds, wait 10 minutes and then release all pressure.  Cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Freeze for 10 minutes prior to serving.  Key Lime Pie is best when very cold.

    Can this recipe be adjusted for individual mason jars in the Instant Pot?
