on 10/12/2008 This is a poor recipe. Here's the correct one (and I'm a 5th gen native FL gal)
1 purchased graham crust
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup Key Lime Juice-not lime juice--HUGE DIFFERENCE!
Mix yolks and milk, add key lime juice with beaters running. Pour into crust and either chill until set OR bake at 350 for 15 minutes if you are worried about eating raw egg yolks, I'm not. I've been eating them my whole life and I'm still kicking! Refrigerate pie till serving time. That's it--easy as pie! LOL
