Like a trip to Key West, this pie is made with REAL key limes...
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup key lime* juice
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
Whipped Cream Topping
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Whisk egg yolks until blended; whisk in key lime juice. Add condensed milk, vanilla and salt, whisking until blended. Pour mixture into crust and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven; cool completely. In medium bowl beat cream, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer until thick. Spread over cooled pie and garnish with lime slices.
*Key limes are small round limes (about the size of a large gum ball) usually sold in bags in the produce section. They are not the normal "Persian" larger limes, however, regular limes can be used in a pinch.
