Ready Crust Key Lime Pie

Ingredients

Pie

• 2 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup fresh or bottled key lime juice (or 1/2 cup lime juice)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 to 2 drops green food coloring (optional)
• 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
• 1 Keebler Ready Crust graham pie crust

Topping

• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• Key lime or lime slices (optional)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk until combined.
2. Gradually add the condensed milk, beating until combined. Add the lime juice, water, food coloring (if using) and lime peel and whisk until well mixed.
3. Pour into the crust, set it on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until almost set in the center. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 4 hours.
4. Chill a small mixing bowl and the mixer beaters. Beat the cream, sugar and vanilla at medium speed until stiff peaks form.
5. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream around the edge of the pie and garnish with lime slices if you like.
