Recipe: Southern Exposure Key Lime Pie

Kate Heyhoe

Southern Exposure Key Lime Pie

Bruce Monette of Niwot, Colorado, is a professional chef who has been baking pies for years. He sold this pie at two of his restaurants—Southern Exposure and the Calypso Grill—and now offers it to shoppers at the Boulder County Farmers Market. It took First Place honors in the Retail Cream Pie Category at the National Pie Championships.

1/2 cup real Key lime juice (bottled or fresh)
5 large egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 graham cracker crust
1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
(preferably not ultra-pasteurized)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon double-strength true vanilla extract
Fresh lime zest

Mix lime juice, egg yolks and condensed milk with a wire whisk. Pour into pie shell. Bake for 10 minutes in a pre-heated 350 degree oven. Cool to room temperature. Chill in refrigerator.

To make whipped cream, whip cream with sugar and vanilla.

Garnish chilled pie with whipped cream and lime zest. Refrigerate pie until serving. These pies also freeze quite well. Thaw at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
