Key Lime Pie Ingredients
Method
Instructions
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Form the Crust
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
Bake the Pie
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the filling is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Prepare the Strawberry Sauce
While the pie is chilling, puree strawberries in a blender until smooth. If desired, strain the puree to remove seeds.
Make the Whipped Cream
In a mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Serve
Once the pie is chilled, slice and serve topped with strawberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.
