Double Cream Key Lime Pie

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 4 hours
Servings: 8
Ingredients
  • 15 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 6 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice
  • 1 pint whipped cream (half for the pie, and half to garnish)
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • 24 Graham Crackers (2 Packages)
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 6 Tbsp Butter
Preparation
For the Graham Cracker Crust, place graham crackers in plastic bag and finely crush (rolling pin works well).  Measure 1.5 cups of crushed graham crackers into medium bowl.  Add sugar.  Melt butter and add to mixture.  Stir or blend together with your hands.  Press into pie tin.  Bake for 8-10 min at 350 degrees.

For the Pie Filling, blend milk, lemon juice and lime juice with a beater.  Fold in 1/2 pint whipped cream and add food coloring.  Pour mixture in the cool graham-cracker crust and chill for several hours.  Top with the remaining whipped cream and serve.

This is probably the best Key Lime Pie I have ever had.  I got the recipe from my neighbor/Young Women Leader.  It is very creamy and I love the crust.
