Moniques Quickest Key Lime Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust: Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and salt with a fork in a medium bowl. Pour in the butter and continue to stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch glass or metal pie dish and spread into an even layer. Use a 1/4 measuring cup or small glass to firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake until it is dry-looking and lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack while you make the filling.
• For the filling: Combine the sweetened condensed milk and sour cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add the lime juice, egg yolks, salt and lime zest and continue to beat until the batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour into the graham cracker crust. Bake until the pie is mostly set but jiggles slightly in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the pie cool to room temperature on a wire rack, then refrigerate to set and chill completely, at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
• For the whipped cream topping: Combine the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the topping decoratively on top of the pie. Alternatively, dolloped the whipped cream on slices of pie. Sprinkle with lime zest.

Steps:

• Beat 1 cup of the heavy cream into stiff peaks in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, 2 teaspoons of the lime zest and lime juice. Fold the lime juice/sweetened condensed mixture into the whipped cream.
• Spoon the filling into the pie crust and spread out evenly. Place in the freezer until solid and set, 3 to 4 hours.
• Take the remaining 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream and add the confectioners' sugar. Whip until soft peaks. Spoon the whipped cream over the frozen pie. Garnish with the remaining key lime zest and some curled lime slices if desired.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in milk and lime juice until blended. Transfer to crust. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours. Just before serving, garnish with whipped topping and, if desired, lime slices.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk and lime juice. Mix well. Pour into unbaked graham cracker shell.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Top with whipped topping and garnish with lime slices if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place mini graham cracker crusts onto a baking sheet.
• In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, Key lime juice, and Key lime zest until smooth. Pour the filling into the graham cracker crusts, filling to the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot, 5 to 8 minutes. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour. To serve, garnish each mini pie with a Key lime slice and a dollop of whipped cream topping.

Steps:

• With a mixer, combine limeade, yogurt, and cream cheese until MOST lumps are gone (we like some lumps).
• Fold in whipped topping.
• Carefully spread in crust.
• Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set.
• Garnish as desired (candied lime peels, candied lime slices, lime syrup). Store in refrigerator.
