Key Lime Pie

For you Lora!


Crust


1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter or margarine, and cinnamon until well blended . Press mixture into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate.
Bake at 375 for 7 minutes. Cool.


Filling

14 oz sweetened condensed milk
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp Nellie & Joe's Brand Key Lime Juice***

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium mixing bowl combine milk, egg yolks and lime juice. Stir to combine well. Pour into pie crust and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes before refrigerating. Just prior to serving, top pie with freshly whipped cream.

*** Nellie & Joe's Key Lime Juice is a MUST!!!! There is really no substitute...It truly makes the pie! I find it at Whole Foods and HEB.
