Realime Pie Recipes

Steps:

• 1. CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the ingredients together and press them into a 9-inch pie plate (glass or pre-formed tin is your option). Bake in oven in middle rack for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven, and cool on a rack. Note: Do not turn off the oven, as you will be baking the next portion of the pie momentarily.
• 2. PIE FILLING: In a stand mixer with the whipping attachment, beat the egg yolks on medium speed until they are thick and turn yellow, DO NOT OVERMIX!
• 3. Turn the mixer off and add the sweetened condensed milk, and turn the mixer speed to low. Drizzle 1/2 of the lime juice. Once the lime juice is incorporated, add the other half of the juice and the zest, continue to mix until melted (just a few seconds).
• 4. Pour the mixture into the pie shell.
• 5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes to set the yolks. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for approximately 2 hours to set.
• 6. WHIPPING CREAM: In a stainless steel medium bowl, combine whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla and whisk by hand until creamy peaks form.
• 7. SERVING: Take the pie out of the refrigerator and slice pie in 8ths. Plate pie and add a dollop of whip cream! Try it also with some toasted coconut too!

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl with a fork until combined well, then press mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of a 9-inch (4-cup) glass pie plate.
• Bake crust in middle of oven 10 minutes and cool in pie plate on a rack. Leave oven on.
• Make filling and bake pie:
• Whisk together condensed milk and yolks in a bowl until combined well. Add juice and whisk until combined well (mixture will thicken slightly).
• Pour filling into crust and bake in middle of oven 15 minutes. Cool pie completely on rack (filling will set as it cools), then chill, covered, at least 8 hours.
• Make topping:
• Just before serving, beat cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks. Serve pie topped with cream.
