It's Tangy, It's Sweet, It's Creamy, It's Perfect!
I first found the recipe about 5 years ago. I can not tell you how many people it has spread to. Everyone I give it to gives it to at least 5 more. I'm telling you it is so simple, and so loved. It truely is the go to Dessert for those who "don't bake" and even for those who do!
OK here we go.
First you will need to make a crumb crust. Either use Graham Crumbs or Gingersnaps (home made or even those super cheap crunchy ones you can buy. I think they are Dare, and they are like 2$ or something like that)
So about 1 cup of "crumb"
a couple of tbsp of melted butter or margarine.
Sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon
Press into the bottom of a pie plate or spring form pan like I did.
Bake 325 for 5 minutes.
Now the filling:
Limes, You'll need between 4 and 6 of them.
In a bowl, add 1 3/4 cups of sweetened condensed milk
The zest of 3 limes,
1/2 cup of fresh lime juice,
4 egg yolks.
That's it!
at this point I would like to thank my sis. She decided to move to the Yukon (don't worry she came to her senses and came back) and she gave me her juicer. Saves so much time!
This is pre mixing.
This is post mixing.
Now pour it on the prepared crust. And pop back into the over for 15-20 minutes.
It should be only a little "wobbly" when it's done. Let it cool.
Now anyone who knows me knows that only one thing makes dessert even better!
WHIP CREAM!
so slather it on, don't be cheap!
And Voila! Now really how easy was that??? Super easy!
Oh yeah, don't forget to let the little ones lick the spoon!
ENJOY!
