Key lime Pie

Crust
1 box of GF grahms ( 18 to 20), I used S'moreables
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
6 Tbsp. melted butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Pour grahams out into a mixing bowl.

Add the brown sugar and cinnamon and mix to combined. Then add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is like wet sand.

Pour crumbs into a 9 inch pie plate and spread the crumbs out evenly before pressing. Press the crumbs starting with the bottom and working your way up the sides of the plate. Try and keep the crust evenly distributed.

Bake in a 350 degrees F. oven for 8 min. Do not bake longer than 9 minutes or you risk getting a rock hard crust! 8 minutes is perfect in most cases.

Let cool completely before adding the key lime filling.

Keylime Pie Filling

Ingredients:
1/3 cup fresh lime juice from 3 to 4 limes
zest from limes
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream, organic
3/4 cup bakers sugar
1 packet knox gelatin

Directions:
Mix cream cheese until soft and then add the lime zest. Alternate adding sugar and lime juice and blend. Pour in the whip cream and blend on med high until it thickens. Do not over mix. Refrigerate at least 2 hours but overnight is better.

Once the crust is cool, pour in the filling and spread it out with a spatula mounding slightly in the middle.

You can serve the pie as is or top with homemade whipping cream.

Whipping cream

Ingredients:

1 cup Organic heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. organic vanilla extract

Directions:

Place heavy cream in a mixing bowl, add the sugar and vanilla and mix. Start on low and then increase the spread of the mixer to medium high.

Mix until you have stiff peaks. Careful not to over mix!

I placed my whip cream in a pipping bag with a large star tip by Wilton. I pipped little mounds all around the pie and finished it off with slices of lime on top. This helps people identify what kind of pie this is.

This keep in the refrigerator for several days. Enjoy!
