- I saw a request for frozen key line pie and figured I would post one
- I have. It can be a little tart, but it is a great cool treat on a
- summer day!
-
-
- For Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup softened butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
-
- Combine all ingredients. Spray pie plate with a non-stick cooking
- spray and gently tamp crumbs into pan (do not pack). Reserve 2
- tablespoons crumbs for topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
-
- For Filling:
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup Key lime juice (generous)
- 2 lemon peels coarsely grated
-
- Beat the yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Add milk and blend.
- Add juice, 2 tablespoons at a time. Blend well after each addition.
- Add half of grated lemon peel and blend again.
-
- Beat whites until stiff. Fold half of whites into milk-juice mix.
- (Throw away rest of whites or use for something else.) Pour into
- prepared crust.
-
- Sprinkle reserved crumbs and remaining lemon peel over top. Freeze
- until firm. Then cover with aluminum foil and keep frozen until
- ready to use.
-
- Remove from freezer about 5 minutes before serving (less if it's
- hot.) After about 10 minutes, pie will no longer seem frozen.
-
- Serves 6-8 (3-4 if they like Key lime!)
