Diane’s Dish Florida Key Lime Pie
I found this recipe 20 years ago while visiting the beautiful Florida Keys.
This recipe has never let me down. I hope you enjoy your Florida Key Lime Pie! Email me your thoughts, send me a picture of your pie to my email: dianelyn@1019litefm.com or click the title of the recipe to post a comment.
1/2 cup lime juice (I use Nellie and Joe’s Famous Key West Lime Juice found at most stores.)
4 egg yolks (save whites for the topping)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 graham cracker pie shell
Blend egg yolks and condensed milk, slowly add lime juice to taste. Pour into baked graham cracker pie shell. Beat egg whites until stiff, add 4 tbsp. of sugar and 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Put the topping on the pie and then bake at 375 degrees until golden brown. Watch the pie after the first 20 minutes to make sure it is browning nicely. Depending on your oven, 40 minutes for total bake time should be good. Refrigerate after it has completely cooled.

July 25th, 2007 at 10:01 amI am so glad you love Key Lime Pie! I wanted to make it clear, the topping goes on the pie & into the oven. I have a revision online, so print that one. I wrote this kinda fast for our website launch. Found the recipe at Ernest Hemingway’s estate in Key West:)
Thanks for listening. Send me a picture of your pie, girlfriend!
