KEY LIME PIE WITH BUTTER CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch pie plate. Put the crackers in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Add the butter, sugar and egg white and pulse until the mixture comes together like wet sand (it should hold together when pinched). Transfer to the prepared pie plate and press evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the filling: Whisk together the condensed milk, lime juice, salt and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Pour into the cooked pie shell and bake until the filling is set and only slightly jiggles in the center, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely at room temperature and then refrigerate, loosely covered with plastic wrap, until chilled, about 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Prepare the garnish: Use a citrus zester to make strips of zest. Then cut away all of the peel and white pith (save the other half for another use). Cut the lime "meat" into small chunks.
• Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with whipped cream. Pipe mounds of whipped cream around the edges of the pie and decorate with chunks of lime and zest. Serve immediately or return to the refrigerator to chill until serving.

KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• For the graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Break up the graham crackers; place in a food processor and process to crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place the crackers in a large plastic bag; seal and then crush the crackers with a rolling pin. Add the melted butter and sugar and pulse or stir until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and side of a pie pan, forming a neat border around the edge. Bake the crust until set and golden, 8 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack; leave the oven on.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, in an electric mixer with the 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 just until combined, no longer. Pour the mixture into the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
• For the topping: Whip the cream and the confectioners' sugar until nearly stiff. Cut the pie into wedges and serve very cold, topping each wedge with a large dollop of whipped cream.

FRESH AND TANGY KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix well and pour into pie crust.
• Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes, taking care not to brown! Chill pie for at least two hours before serving.
• I have found it easiest making it to these quantities, as it uses one can of condensed milk. It makes one very well filled pie crust and leaves a little mix to spare. I can, however, easily make three pies with the double quantity.
• Key Limes are difficult to find outside of Florida. In the US you may be able to find Nellie & Joe's Key West Lime Juice, which is an excellent bottled Key Lime juice. Alternatively you can use the juice of regular (persian/mexican) limes. Preferably freshly squeezed or else a good bottled product. If you squeeze limes, place them in the microwave at full power until very warm (approx 60 to 90 seconds) and let them cool to luke warm. That way the juice will come out very easily.
