Easy Key Lime Pie I
I've never made key-lime pie before but this one was so easy and came out great! It almost tasted like The Cheesecake Factory's Key Lime Cheese Cake. I put a dollop of whipped cream on top and my guest and fiance loved it! I followed the reviewers recipes and used two cans of condensed milk. I couldn't find key lime juice so I squeezed 5 fresh lemons, 7 fresh limes, and 5 key limes (the little limes) which was exactly one cup of juice, and used that instead. I did make my own crust. It is an awesome crust and so simple. Its the same crust I use on my cheesecake. Buy cinnamon honey graham crackers and crush up two of the packages that come inside the box (not two boxes) into crumbs. Add 2/3 cup white sugar and 1 cup melted butter. Stir it well. You should be able to press this into a pie or cheesecake pan. Make sure if you use a cheesecake pan you put another pan under it in the oven to catch any dripping butter.
