Len's Recipe of the Month - November 2020

 

If you want a dessert alternative to pumpkin pie this socially distanced Thanksgiving, key lime pie might be your answer.   I was given this recipe by a neighbor and it was so delicious that friends are insisting that I make it for the holiday.

And it's so easy.

Now if you want to go through the trouble of making your own home made graham cracker pie crust, have yourself a time.   Keebler makes a good one and it is delicious.

Move right onto the filling.  First zest one lime into a large bowl.   You will need about three to five limes for this.   Have the limes and juice them to about 1/2 cup.  Pour into the bowl.

Add one 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.  Now add the yolks of four eggs.  Blend this all together thoroughly.  Pour into the crust.

Place in an oven that has been preheated to 325 degrees.  Bake for about 15 minutes.   Remove and let cool for about two hours.

When the pie has cooled, you can make the topping.  In a bowl, pour in one cup of cold heavy cream and add 1/4 cup of sour cream.   Add one tablespoon of sugar.   With a beater or by hand, whisk together until soft peaks form.   Spread the topping on the pie and refrigerate for three hours before serving.   For the holidays, you can make this a day ahead.

And then thank me.

Dinner last night:  A shooting night so nothing really.
