Key Lime Pie
In 2006 Florida passed a law making Key Lime Pie the
official state pie. The pie is named after the small limes
found in the Florida Keys, a group of islands off the coast.
Ingredients:
1 graham cracker crust, baked
Filling:
18 ounces sweetened condensed milk*
½ cup grams sour cream
¾ cup key lime* juice
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon grated lime zest*
Prepare the graham cracker crust recipe. Bake according to instructions.
In a medium bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix well
and pour into graham cracker crust.
Bake 5 to 8 minutes at 350ºF, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie.
Do not let the pie get brown. Cool, then chill pie in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Serve with a dollop
of whipped cream.
