The No-Key-West-Needed Key Lime Pie
- Category Desserts
Ingredients:
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup key lime juice
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup coconut chips
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1.5 cups fresh whipped cream
- Key limes or limes for garnish
Directions:
- Add condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, and vanilla to a glass bowl set over a pot of lightly simmering water. Whisk until thickened, about 6 minutes.
- Remove from heat and place over an ice bath to cool. Transfer to a measuring cup and place in the refrigerator to completely chill (should make about 1.5 cups).
- Combine the graham crackers, coconut chips, melted butter, and sugar in a separate bowl.
- In 4 (8-oz) mason jars, add a spoonful of graham cracker mixture. Pack the cracker crumbs down with a spoon. Top with a layer of key lime filling, then a layer of whipped cream. Top with more key lime filling, a small sprinkling of graham crackers, and a nice dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle the top with a bit more graham crackers and a slice of key lime.
