Recipe - Lime Pie


I'd call it key lime pie but that'd be a lie since no key limes were used. I'd call it lemon-lime pie but the taste was overwhelmingly lime despite the pie having both. So here we go with the lime pie, created in honor of Pi Day, March 14th!

Step 1: Ingredients (yields 9-inch pie)
  • whipped cream
  • lemon & lime slices, for garnish
  • 1/2 cup lime juice, fresh
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 1 graham cracker pie crust, 9-inch
  • 2 cans sweetened condensed milk, 14 oz. each
  • 4 egg yolks

Step 2: Mixing ingredients
Pre-heat oven to 375°F. This pie is so simple that you just need to stick all ingredients except for the pie crust into a bowl and blend. If you want to make your own pie crust, do so by all means but I personally didn't have enough time. Pour into the pie crust and stick in the oven for 20-25 minutes.


Step 3: Finishing
Take the pie out of the oven and let it cool completely before doing anything to it. You don't want it to crack or ooze everywhere. If you'd like to decorate/garnish, add whipped cream, lemon slices, and lime slices. Enjoy the tart wonder!
