Ok my Lovelies,
As promised I am sharing my super secret Key Lime Pie Recipe. If you read a couple of days back, you will see what I had to go thru to get it. From a cruise ship chef it is the BEST Key Lime Pie I have ever had. Absolutely refreshing and not too sour and fabulous. Whoever makes this, I want some feedback on your opinion. I know Andrea is from Florida where Key Limes grow, so I need to be sure it will stand up to her taste. Here you are my fun friends:
Ingredients:
11/2 pints sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
2/3 cup KEY LIME JUICE/ I can't stress enough it has to be KEY LIME JUICE, not regular lime juice
1 cup fresh whipped cream
1 9" pre baked pie shell, you can buy a pie shell and just bake it as it says for this.
Procedure:
Beat the egg yolks and condensed milk until well blended, maybe 2 minutes
GRADUALLY add small amounts of Key Lime Juice and blend in until you get a good consistency then add more until you've used all the Key Lime Juice.
Pour the mixture into the pre baked pie shell, refrigerate for 2 hours
Dealers choice here: you can cover it with whipped cream, or serve each slice with one or dollops of whipping cream
Store in refrigerator.
WARNING: Extremely rich, a small slice is more than sufficient. This is a great crowd pleaser. I take it to all potlucks I attend. no effort and seriously THE BEST KEY LIME PIE EVER.
Enjoy it and feedback from whoever bakes it please.
In other news, I spent the day with Carrie. We went shopping and had lunch at Thai Town. YUMMM. We talked about a lot of things, but she gave me the sweetest card that said I was like a mom to her and I was the only person she really trusts because I always give her support and sound advise. I cried a little. It was so sweet. I'm glad she has someone to talk to who has been in many places she has been and can give her advise. Also that she can call me whenever to vent or to talk. It was a lovely afternoon.
It's that heart thing I did not even know I had. It is tiny and black like this <3 on the xray. All the young ladies I have helped over the years have been blessings. Most are in their late 30's to early 40's now, but we all formed a lasting bond. I don't know about a heart, but I am generous.
Tomorrow is an engagement party for my ex boss from 20 years ago so I will see all my old friends and co-workers. One of them has been on maternity leave for 17 years. We've always kept in touch over the years getting together for lunch or dinner whenever we all could. That is nice. Now one is getting married on Saturday and I could not be more excited for her. I cannot wait to meet the lucky guy who gets her. Her 1st marriage. Nice she waited until the ONE came along. So it should be some fun. Looking forward to it.
The cat has lost weight from being outside this summer. I can't call him Fatass anymore. he hasn't brought many mice home to trade for treats tho. He get the treats anyway. I'm a pushover.
Ok that is it for this post. Sorry it is so late. I've had computer issues and have been on shat with Sony all evening. They got it fixed tho. YAY Sony.
Peaceout my friends and see you if not tomorrow then this weekend. I am getting ready for this wedding on Saturday. I wore a ball and chain to my last wedding. No lie. I seriously did. That might have presented the problems huh? Hindsight. Ah well you know. I thought it was funny.
I remember when you made this many years ago and it is yummy. :)
