Key Lime PIe - A Summer Treat


 "Summer time and the living' is easy"? That doesn't describe the time here on our ranch! The cattle work just finished and haying has started. Mix in 2 softball games and 2 T ball games and various other 4-H activities with my regular community activities each week and it is very busy! Time for a quick summer treat for dessert!

Key Lime Pie lets us imagine a vacation on the beach with cool drinks and friends. I made this last week and it is so easy and delicious it will be a treat again soon. Thanks to my friend Sharolyn for the recipe. This recipe was declared the best by a special panel of Sharolyn and friends touring restaurants of Key West. 


KEY LIME PIE

Ingredients:

1 large prepared graham cracker pie crust

2 - 14 oz. cans sweetened condensed milk

1 cup Key Lime juice

½ cup + 1 Tablespoon sour cream

1 ¼ Tablespoon lime zest

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust. 

Bake in preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pei. Do not brown! Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.
