I have a good key lime pie recipe, but I decided to try this one for our dinner party the other night and it won out in my opinion, but maybe it was just because it was so cold that it made it unusual. But for a hot summer night, this would be great. Surprisingly, this is also from Ina (Family Style).
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c sugar
6 T unsalted butter, melted
6 egg yolks
1/4 c sugar
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 T grated lime zest
3/4 c freshly squeezed lime juice
1 c heavy cream
1/4 c sugar
1/4 t light rum (or vanilla)
Preheat oven to 350.
Combine crackers, sugar and butter in a bowl. Press into a 9inch pie pan. Bake 10 minutes. Cool.
Beat egg yolks and sugar on high speed in mixer with paddle attachment for 5 minutes. Add milk, zest and juice on medium speed. Pour into baked shell and freeze at least 1 hour.
Beat cream on high speed in mixer with whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add sugar and rum and beat until firm. Spoon or pipe onto pie. Freeze for several hours or overnight.
