This is my absolute, favorite Key Lime Pie!! My good friend Joe (AKA: Garibaldi) introduced this recipe to me years ago, and it was so good he then proceeded to tell me how quick and easy it is to make, with just a few ingredients. Needless to say, he got my attention right away and I have been enjoying this key lime pie ever since, and now I hope that you do too :)

Joe’s (Garibaldi’s) Key Lime Pie – Ivo’s absolute favorite!!

Ingredients
For the crust
• 1 ¼ cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
• 1 TBSP sugar
• 4 TBSP (1/2 stick) butter (salted or unsalted – doesn’t matter)
• You will need a deep dish, 9inch, pie plate
For the filling
• 4 limes
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk (300 ml or about 10 oz can)
• 1 cup of whipping cream (35% preferred)

Process
• Put the Graham Cracker Crumbs in a bowl, add the sugar and whisk to mix
• Melt the butter and add it to the crumb mixture and mix until all the butter is absorbed
• Put crumbs in your 9inch pie plate and line the sides and the bottom with this mixture, pat it down firmly, set aside
• Take the zest from 2 limes (about 1 TBSP of zest) and add it to a bowl.
• Squeeze those 2 limes and the other 2 limes as well, to get ½ cup of lime juice. Add this to the same bowl with the zest. Then add your can of sweetened condensed milk to the bowl as well, and whisk together, until all combined. Set aside
• Put the 1 cup of whipping cream in a bowl and beat until stiff peaks form
• Add the whipped cream to the lime mixture, 1/3 at a time and fold it in
• Then pour this mixture into the 9inch pie plate, over top of the crumbs, and spread out evenly
• Cover, and place in freezer.
• Once frozen, you can remove and serve
• Enjoy

Notes/Tips:
• When beating the whipped cream, be sure to use a metal bowl or a glass bowl, for best results (i.e., avoid using a plastic bowl)
• When removing the juice from the limes, if you also end up with some pulp, you can add the pulp in as well, for more added flavor.
• Before putting the crumb mixture in your 9inch pie plate, you can rub some butter on the plate first, which will help make it easier to cut and serve.
• If you do not have graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own crumbs and substitute, by grating your favorite hard cookies (if you do this, and you use sweet cookies, you can avoid adding the 1 TBSP of sugar)
• This will keep in the freezer, easily up to 3 months (mind you it’s so good, it won’t last that long )
