Key Lime Pie



You can also add shredded coconut to the crust recipe (only if you are sure your guests or you like it). I would use 1/2 cup if you are going to use it.


Key Lime Pie

Crust:
1 and 1/4 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
1 C chopped Macadamia Nuts
1/4 C sugar6 Tbsp Butter, melted

Combine all ingredients and press into a 9 inch pie plate. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes.

Pie Filling:
14 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
3 egg yolks
1/2 C key lime juice ( I use Nellie and Joe's)
1/4 c Cream cheese (can use low fat)

Combine ingredients until smooth with hand mixer. Pour into cooled pie crust and bake 350 for 15 minutes. Chill at least 3 hours. Serve with fresh whipped cream.
