This was super tasty and impressive! Used 4 egg yolks, one cup key lime juice, 2 cans of condensed milk and store bought graham cracker crust. For the key limes: I found a bag of key limes (tiny!) at my local grocery store (in Massachusetts at Shaws) -- was time consuming to juice them almost all of them (with a juicer) and didn't even get a full cup (I don't think all would have made a full cup - and/or would just barely)...glad I bought a backup bottle. Also put some lime zest in the mix - maybe one tsp. This is sweet - but tasty - I liked the extra tartness from the zest. My bake time was about 25 minutes - watch it from 15 to 20 minutes...it just started to look like it was about to get golden (that would be too far!)...clearly done. Chilled in the fridge for about 2-3 hours. Reserved a few limes for garnish: I sliced and candied 2 of them (made about 10 slices)..basically sliced thin, blanched for 2 minutes in boiling water, pulled out. Refilled pan with one C water, one C sugar, brought to a gentle boil and put the slices back in, simmered for about 25-30 minutes. Took out limes and "dried" on a baking rack for about 1 hour, then tossed in a bowl with a little sugar to coat. Arranged on top -- Impressive and got props! Finished with store bought whipped cream...which makes it fancier looking around the edges -- and grated lime zest on it (like the pic!) Just put it on right before serving...it wilts a bit. This pie will make you a superstar - tastes amazing, easy
