KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 °F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
• In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter; stir with a fork first, and then your hands until the mixture is well combined. Using your fingers and the bottom of a glass or dry measuring cup, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 x 1.5-inch (deep-dish) pie pan. The crust should be about ¼-inch thick. (Tip: do the sides first.)
• Bake for 10 minutes, until just slightly browned. Let the crust cool on a wire rack.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, yogurt, lime zest, and lime juice. Pour the thick mixture into the warm graham cracker crust. Bake for 15 minutes, until the filling is almost set; it should wobble a bit. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly, about 3 hours.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until medium peaks form. Top the pie with the whipped cream. Decorate with the lime zest and lime slices. Store the pie in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Slice the pie into wedges, wiping your knife clean between slices, and serve cold.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: You can make the crust a day ahead of time, but the filling should be added on the day of serving, otherwise the crust will get soggy.
• Note: The nutritional information was calculated using 2% Greek yogurt.

KELLY'S RICH AND CREAMY KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325º.
• In medium bowl, gently whisk eggs.

• Slowly whisk in key lime juice.
• *Do not over mix, this will create bubbles. Just stir gently til all ingredients are mixed together well.
• Pop into oven for 40-45 minutes. *My oven takes 44 minutes exactly.
• The edge of pie will just START to slightly poof up and the edge of pie will also be very SLIGHTLY a pale golden brown. Just very lightly browned. The pie also will no longer jiggle.
• Let cool. Pie will set up perfectly as it cools.
• Refrigerate at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
• Pie gets even better the next day! :).
• Serve with whipped cream topping.
• Garnish with slices of key limes, kiwi and/or fanned strawberries if desired.
• VERY rich and creamy!
• ***You can save the egg whites and make a meringue top if preffered. But we like the cool, smooth creaminess of sweetened whipped cream much better than meringue. ;).
• The only other thing I do, is I do add 2 drops green food coloring to the pie for a bit of green color. But this is totally up to you!
• *If preferred, you can also bake this pie in a 9" deep dish pastry crust.
