Key Lime Pie

One of my absolute favorite pies is key lime. It's tart, it's sweet, it's decadent and has a tasty graham cracker crust. 

This recipe is from Ree Drummond, whom you know is one of my favorites (after Julia, of course) and is quick, easy and absolutely fabulous. 

Key Lime Pie 

1 9 in graham cracker crust
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 egg yolks 
1/2 C key lime juice 
1 Tbsp lime zest 

Preheat oven to 350. 

I know you can make your own pie crust and it's super simple and blah, blah, blah but sometimes you just don't want to break out the food processor when you can just buy a crust at the store. Use your judgment, readers. 

With a hand-mixer fitted with a beater attachment, combine all ingredients until thick. This should only take about 3 minutes. 

Pour into your prepared crust (store-bought or homemade) and bake for 15-18 minutes. You're looking for it to be a little less jiggly than when you put it in. 

Refrigerate for 2+ hours and enjoy! 

This key lime pie is refreshing and decadent! Enjoy readers!
