With Spring comes warmer weather, blossoms (errrrr, allergies), new plans, projects and memories to be made! In addition, Spring time brings on Easter, pastel colors, family gatherings and plenty of good food and Easter eggs hunts. One of my favorite memories is my grandma and mother in the kitchen cooking up Easter dinner. There would always be a dessert of some sort, with Key Lime Pie being one of them. As a child, I honestly did not care for it. But, I have grown into loving the homemade graham cracker crust and the sweet and tart creamy filling. Hence, it now hold a special spot on Kroll’s Korner! I purchased all of my ingredients for this recipe at my local Sprouts. Sprouts always has a fantastic selection, is affordable and has the natural products I love to shop for.
What are “key limes” ?
Key limes are more aromatic that “regular limes” with a more tart and floral juice. They are slightly yellow in color and contain more seeds. They are actually less common in the U.S. so using normal limes will be OK for this recipe.
How many key limes do you need for a key lime pie?
About 1 pound, or 3/4 cup key lime juice. Once again, using regular limes work just fine if you cannot get your hands on key limes.
What is in the actual filling of a key lime pie?
The filling includes organic sweetened condensed milk, ¾ cup sour cream, ¾ cup key lime juice, 4 egg yolks, zest from limes.
How to store key lime pie:
You should keep your freshly baked key lime pie refrigerated. Freshly baked key lime pie will keep for about 2 to 3 days in the fridge; refrigerate covered loosely with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
