Key Lime Pie Hot Chocolate Recipes

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, combine key lime zest, sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of milk. Cook over low heat (number 3 on the stove) for 10 minutes. This will allow the zest to fully flavor the drink. Using a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth, strain mixture into a larger sauce pan. Discard the zest. Add remaining milk and white chocolate chips to large sauce pan. Cook on low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth and creamy. Take mugs and dip rim into key lime hot chocolate mixture. Then dip wet rim into crushed graham crackers. Fill mugs with hot chocolate and top with whipping cream or marshmallows and a little key lime zest.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 1/2-inch glass pie pan with shortening.
• Beat sugar and butter for crust in a bowl on medium speed until smooth. Beat in flour, lime zest, and vanilla extract on low speed just until crumbly. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, 13 to 16 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• While the crust is cooling, grind shredded coconut in a food processor into a coarse powder.
• Spread coconut powder thinly over the cooled crust.
• Prepare filling: Whip condensed milk, sour cream, lime and Key lime juices, and coconut cream in a medium bowl on low to medium speed until smooth. Add more lime juice or coconut cream to taste; it should be quite sour but not bitter.
• Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments just until soft. Mash with a spoon, then quickly add to the filling mixture and whip immediately on high speed to evenly distribute. Whip in food coloring on low speed, then gently fold in whipped topping.
• Pour filling into the pie pan. Cover and refrigerate until filling is fully set, at least 12 hours.
• Remove from the refrigerator. Shave white chocolate with a vegetable peeler over the pie to decorate. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Carefully remove the pie from the aluminum tin and place it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Lay another piece of parchment paper over the pie; place your hand on top of the pie to stabilize it.
• Insert 10 wooden pop sticks into the side of the pie @ equal intervals, sticking them thru the crust and about 2" into the filling. If the crust starts to crack, pierce it first with a knife before inserting the sticks.
• Cut the pie into 10 wedges, with a stick in the middle of each wedge. Return to the freezer until rock hard, about 1 hour.
• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. If you don't have a double boiler use the following method. Set a heatproof bowl on top of a deep saucepan of water & bring to boil (do not let the bowl touch the water). Once the water boils, turn off the heat and add two thirds of the chocolate to the bowl. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is melted.
• Transfer the melted chocolate to a quart-size container and add the remaining chopped chocolate. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth & shiny about 5 to 7 minutes. If you don't have an immersion blender you can stir vigorously with a whisk.
• Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty foil (shiny side up) or plastic wrap. Working quickly, hold a wedge of pie by the stick and dip it in the chocolate. Let the excess drip off then lay the pie pop on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wedges.
• Freeze pops at least 15 minutes.

Steps:

• On the stove, heat whipping cream and morsels on medium heat, stirring continuously until melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add sour cream, key lime juice and lime zest. Stir well until smooth. Pour mixture into pie crust, cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. Garnish with dollops of whipped cream and lime slices.
