Tart and cool. This is your average, simple keylime pie. Nothing fancy at all. Just yum. I think the whole thing cost me around $6. Which is great especially because a slice of a similar pie at Emporium Pies or places like that are basically that price. But wouldn’t you rather eat a whole pie? Me too. Let’s make pie.

Let’s begin with the crust. I used 200 grams or about one and a half sleeves of graham crackers. I only used graham crackers this time. But I often like to mix in some almonds too. If you’re choosing to just use crackers, then you can do as I do here and put them in a ziplock bag and smash them till they’re fine crumbs, otherwise you’ll need to use your blender to get the almonds ground too.

Melt one stick of butter.

Pour your crumbs over top.
Picture
Stir exceptionally well.
Picture
Grab a tart pan or a pie dish.
Picture
Dump your crust and begin to press the mixture around the pan.
Picture
Picture
Grab some plastic wrap and really compact the crust into the pan as evenly as possible.

Bake it at 350° for 10 minutes.

While your crust bakes, let’s get to zesting. Zest 7 keylimes, or as many as gets you 1 1/2 Tablespoons of zest.

Slice up and juice 10 keylimes or as many as gets you 2/3 cup of juice.

Picture
Dump 3 egg yolks in a bowl with your zest. Beat for 5 minutes. We really want the yolks to take in all the oil from the zest and to get nice and thick.

Picture
Pour in 14oz sweetened condensed milk. Beat again, this time for 3 minutes.

Pour in your juice and whisk gently until FULLY mixed in.

Picture
Grab your baked crust.
Picture
Pour your filling in. Maybe try and make less of a mess than me. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
Picture
Picture
Let it cool at room tempurature until it’s cool to the touch. Then cool for ~1 hour until cold in the refrigerator.

Whipped cream: 1 cup of heavy cream, cold. Beat on high speed, once it starts to thicken up pour in 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract while still beating (which is why I don’t have photos bc hands full ya know).
Picture
Should be stiff but not butter.
Picture
Picture
Top your pie with fresh zest and piped whipped cream. If you don’t have a piping bag just put your whipped cream in a ziplock bag and cut the tip. Serve cold.

(I made another one and put almonds and cinnamon in the crust)
