Had a ton of folks commenting on the Instagram photo so figured the least I could do was share the recipe! Your choice, with whip cream or strawberry glaze...
9" graham cracker pie shell
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup Key West lime juice (I used from a bottle)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 can whip cream
I added lime zest from a fresh lime to the top
I used a whisk to mix the egg white to create a wash and then with a pastry brush "painted" the pie shell and pre-baked it at 375 degrees for 5 minutes. Let the shell cool before you put the filling in. Turn oven down to 350 for baking the pie.
For the filling:
Combine the egg yolk, milk, vanilla and lime juice. Mix until smooth and pour into the pie shell. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Cool for another 15 minutes and then refrigerate.
Top with whip cream and lime zest when ready to serve.
Store any uneaten pie in the fridge!
Instead of whip cream, try strawberry glaze!
To make glaze:
Clean and quarter a pound of fresh strawberries.
Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tbsp corn starch and 1 cup water. Add to strawberries and cook over medium heat, stirring often. Takes about 20 minutes or so to cook down and thicken.
Let cool and then top pie.
