Key Lime Pie VII

Oh my goodness- don't you love it when you find a great new recipe?  My hubby is a true Key Lime Pie lover and this pie that Brendalyn made for our Girl's Night Out was perfect.  You can adjust the lime and the zest.  This recipe comes from Allrecipes - but a reviewer said that it is like Emeril L.'s Key Lime and he frost with  1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.  The topping would cut down on the tartness of the lime- but I loved it as is!

Key Lime Pie VII

9" prepared graham cracker crust (homemade is better but store bought is nice and easy)

3 cups sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup sour cream

3/4 cup key lime juice (not regular lime juice)

1 Tb. grated lime zest

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice and zest. Mix well and pour into the graham cracker crust.  Bake in preheated oven for 5-8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of the pie.  Do not brown!  Chill pie thoroughly before serving.  Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired or do what Emeril does and frost it with 1/2 cup sour cream mixed with 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
