Classic Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie is one of my top three favorite desserts, and my favorite pie. I have this recipe memorized. It's creamy, citrusy, and classic. You can't mess it up. Well you can if you add two cups of key lime juice instead of 1/2 cup which I've done. You have to use key lime juice and not regular lime juice. The taste is not the same. Albertsons' used to carry it, but I believe the only store in Tooele that carries key lime juice is Macey's. Anyway, I use a 9" pre-baked graham cracker crust. I think the Keebler crusts taste just as good and are a lot less work. Call me Sandra Lee! If you ever visit Key West Florida, you have to visit a little place called The Blonde Giraffe where they make this thing called Key Lime Pie on a Stick. It's Key Lime Pie dipped in dark chocolate. You can also top this with meringue or whipped cream, but we like it as is. So worth the calories...

Bon Appetit!
