Good Morning my Canadian Friends :)

I posted in the recipe link, but thought I'd ask here as well. Does anyone happen to have a Key Lime Pie recipe??

A friend of mine is doing a show tomorrow night and the host requested 2 recipes (insert both of us rolling our eyes)....one being the pie. She doesn't normally do 2 recipes, but this show came from another consultant who is unable to go....and had already made the arrangements with the host.

Thanks in advance :)

Is this the one you are looking for?

Macadamia Key Lime Pie

Crust:
½ package (15 oz) Refrigerated Pie crusts (1 crust)
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped, divided

Filling:

4 large limes
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
3-4 drips each green and yellow food coloring
1 container (12 oz) Cool Whip, divided

Garnish: Additional lime slices, remaining Cool Whip, and toasted nuts.


1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. For crust, let pie crust stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Gently unfold onto lightly floured Grooved Cutting Board (floured with Flour Sugar Shaker.) Roll to 11-1/2-inch circle using floured Baker’s Roller. Place crust in Deep Dish Pie Plate, pressing dough into bottom and up sides. Prick bottom and sides using pastry tool.
2. Coarsely chop nuts with Food Chopper. Sprinkle ½ cup of the nuts over bottom of pie crust. Bake 10-11 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cool completely.
3. For filling, zest limes with Lemon Zester/Scorer to measure 1 tablespoon zest. Juice limes with Juicer to measure ½ cup juice. Combine cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in Classic Batter Bowl; whisk until smooth using Stainless Steel Whisk. Stir zest, juice and food coloring into cream cheese mixture; mix well. Fold in 2 cups of the whipped topping using Classic Scraper. Pour mixture into crust. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
4. In Small Saute Pan, toast remaining 1 tablespoon nuts over medium heat until light golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove nuts from pan and cool completely.
5. Garnish with Cool Whip using Easy Accent Decorator and lime slices, if desired. Sprinkle with nuts. Cut into wedges using Slice ‘N Serve.

Note: When I make it, I whisk some softened cream cheese with the Cool Whip. This gives the border garnish more body.

Yield: 8 Servings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need for a Key Lime Pie?

To make a classic Key Lime Pie, you will need the following ingredients: 1 cup of Key lime juice, 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk, 3 large egg yolks, and a pre-made graham cracker crust. Optionally, you can top it with whipped cream and lime slices for garnish.

How do I prepare the Key Lime Pie filling?

To prepare the filling, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Gradually add the Key lime juice and mix until well combined. Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust and bake for about 15 minutes. Allow it to cool before refrigerating for at least 3 hours.

Can I use regular limes instead of Key limes?

Yes, you can use regular limes if Key limes are not available. However, the flavor will be slightly different, as Key limes are smaller and have a unique tartness. If using regular limes, consider adjusting the sugar to balance the tartness.

How can I tell when the Key Lime Pie is done baking?

The Key Lime Pie is done when the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. It will continue to firm up as it cools. Be careful not to overbake, as this can cause the filling to crack.

What is the best way to store leftover Key Lime Pie?

To store leftover Key Lime Pie, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate. It should be consumed within 3 to 4 days for the best taste and texture. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it, but the texture may change upon thawing.
