super easy key lime pie |

As a child, my daughter ate lemons like they were oranges. So it is no surprise that she has come up with a key lime pie recipe that is simply and wickedly good.
Separately, my friend Stuart (Guest Post-er of True Burrito Tales) sent me a very similar recipe with a bonus sour cream topping. The recipe below is an amalgam of my daughter's and Stuart's with nods to Sam Choy's Aloha Cuisine of Hawaii and Waltz Fish Shack of Monteira Beach, FL

Mix egg yolks, Key Lime juice and condensed milk. Pour into the graham cracker crust. Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes until the pie is 'set' in the middle. Cool completely. Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
Sour Cream Topping Variation
Bake pie as above, but for 20 minutes and remove from oven. Cool for 5 minutes, but eave the oven on. Beat together sour cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread over pie and return to oven for 6-7 minutes. Take out and sprinkle with a little lime zest. Cool on wire rack & chill in fridge.
