This pie was amazing!January 24, 2009By CookiesMama
"I had been looking for a Key Lime Pie recipe, because it had been a long time since I've had a good slice, but many recipes I looked at online contained sweetened condensed milk and additional sugar, and I like it tart - it's supposed to have a zing at the end. Well, I stumbled onto Mitzi's recipe this afternoon and made it for tonight's dessert and it was a big hit. It was a perfect balance of the sweet and tart - creamy and smooth and like a little piece of lime heaven in your mouth... Because I live at a high altitude, I added 1 tsp of cream of tatar to the yolks and milk to give it some structure, and prebaked my crust about 5 minutes. I decided to add 4 drops of green food coloring too. Thanks for making such a great recipe availabe - can't wait to make it again!"
