easy (and delicious) key lime pie

crust:
3/4 C finely crushed cinnamon graham crackers
1/8 C powdered sugar
3.5 T melted butter

mix all together and press into a pie pan. it helps if you have a second pie pan to press down on to the crust to get it even all the way around. bake at 300 for 10 min. let cool

filling:
4 large egg yolks
1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk
1/2 C key lime juice
2 t of grated lime rind

beat the eggs until fluffy and light yellow (but don't over beat them, or else the filling gets too thick, or something) add the sweetened condensed milk and blend together. add half of the lime juice and blend until it is fully incorporated. add the other half of the lime juice and the lime rind. blend until it is all mixed together well - pour into the cool graham cracker crust and bake for 12 min at 350. serve cold with cool whip.



my pie wasn't served with this much class. and it didn't have all those limes behind it.

if it weren't for that cool whip at the end i might've been confused by how healthy-seeming that pie is.

have you ever had a frozen mojito?
these aren't frozen, but it's fun to watch.
