NEED Amazing Key Lime Pie recipe! please! :)

[CrazyCatNChickenLady]

HELP!

DBF's b-day is on sunday so were having both our familys over our house(to meet for the first time!) for a double-mothers-day/ birthday BBQ!

I've been beating around the bush when it comes to dessert! He said Key Lime Pie or Coconut Cream Pie. Well my respnse was "Babe, I really dont know how to make a pie!" ( I DONT!! I dont like pie, so I've never made one!) so he said carrot cake("don't know how to make that either!!" haha

) So i'm gonna suprise him with PIE!! I can pretty much make anything so im NOT intimidated, just dont know what a good key lime pie consists of!

I've looked it up and found some recipes, but some were mirange topping(sp?) and some had a sour cream/powdered sugar mixture! Just great, I'm from California and dont even know what REAL key lime pie tastes like!! I'm also gonna make a MissPrissy's Pecan Pie so if I do mess one up I'll hopefully have an edible back-up!!

NEED AN AMAZING RECIPE PLEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEE!!!!

(hopefully by tomorrow around noon so I can go to the grocery store!)

This is not key lime but it is one that people practically stand and lick the empty pie plate.

Key Lime Pie is so EASY to make and makes such a big impression on your guests! The big trick is to find the bottled Key Lime juice, which I guess isn't available in all parts of the country. I can get an inexpensive brand called Mrs Biddle's in our local Publix grocery store and it does great. The recipe on the side of the bottle says:

1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
3 or 4 oz juice (I always use 4 oz)

Mix milk & egg yolks at low speed. Slowly add juice, mixing until well blended. Pour into 9" graham cracker pie shell and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Refrigerate several hours before serving to allow filling to firm. Top with whipped cream or meringue and ENJOY!

I make my own graham cracker crust by grinding graham crackers in the blender & mixing with butter & sugar. The recipe is usually on the side of the cookie box. Or you can buy a prepared crust. And I top my pies with real whipped cream I make by whipping a pint of heavy cream in the mixer with a little sugar & vanilla, but you could use canned or packaged topping.

And I use duck egg yolks which give the pie a rich golden color, but of course you can use your own beautiful chickens' eggs.

I like to freeze narrow slices of Key Lime Pie for special treats during the weeks to come.

The only reason I ask is because I'm one of the generous types that will give out ANY recipe!

and I cook alot and have MANYY amazing ones of my own!(I'm working on a cookbook, but its a side project and is slow going!)

ooh like my pasta salad im making tomarrow! It has bacon, chicken, cheese, red onion, HB eggs, maybe some pickels and i'll put a little pasta in there, somewhere!! But the 'sauce' is what really gets ya! (mayo, mustard, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt) mmm! Its always requested!
