Hey, 

I'm looking for a good Key Lime Pie recipe. Anyone have a good one?

I've made this in the past albeit using Bottled Key Lime Juice instead of Fresh Key Limes and it was just ok.

TIA

my favorite dessert.....this is the one i’ve recently used.  for the crust, i’ve bought ready made crusts and dumped them into a bowl and added a bit more butter and sugar, then used them. you could start from scratch as well.

That is almost verbatim the Nellie & Joes recipe on the bottle, except they call for 3 egg yolks. I like it with 4 too, it makes it a little more custardy.

I used to grow my own key limes when I lived in S. Miami. I'm not sure you can still buy them commercially.

I eat N&J's pies for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

• 1 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (used to be one sleeve of Honey Maid's, until the scammers shrunk the package, but not the box.  Now you'll need to rob  2 or 3 crackers from 2nd sleeve)
  
• 1/2 stick of unsalted butter, melted
  
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
  

• 2 1/2 cups sweetened condensed milk (2 cans)
  
• 2/3 cup freshly squeezed key limes ... add another ounce or two if you like it extra tart.
  
• 4 large egg yolks
