Key Lime Pie

I'm a fan of Key Lime Pie...

remember this shot from my visit to Key West?

Ahhhhh.... chocolate covered Key Lime pie!

I found this recipe for Key Lime Pie and decided to give it a try.

I followed the recipe exactly.

I was thrilled to find Key Lime Juice for $2.99 at World Market!

I had looked at several grocery stores with no luck finding fresh key limes

so this option was much easier and cheaper.

 I decided to go out on a limb and give the sugar cone crust a try...

 Same difficulty as doing a homemade, graham cracker crust.

However, I think the graham cracker crust would have been better.

My first attempt at a custard type of pie.

 One fat free and one regular sweetened condensed milk.

 All mixed up but not quite festive enough for me.

 Much better :)

 Marry the filling with the crust.

 Freeze for one hour.

 I was skeptical if it would set that quickly but it did!

 Time to prepare it to serve.

 * I got this handy gadget from my friend, Erin, for Christmas 

and I've been dying to give it a try!

 It worked like a charm.

Great, tart pie.

Filling had a great flavor; small pieces are best.

The only change I'd make would be to do a graham cracker crust next time.
