Key Lime Pie

Ingredients:

Pie Filling

•  3 cups sweetened condensed milk (about 2 cans)
•  ½ cup sour cream
•  ¾ cup key lime juice
•  1 tablespoon grated lime zest + extra for garnish (if desired)

Crust

•  1½ cups crushed graham crackers
•  ¼ cup sugar
•  1/3 cup butter, melted

In a small bowl, combine the crust ingredients and blend well. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a non-greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Cool before filling.

Turn oven down to 350̊. In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, key lime juice and lime zest. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.

Bake in preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie. Do not brown. Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and grated lime zest as desired.
