Key Lime Pie

I made the best key lime pie for Steven's birthday. It was surprisingly untedious. I can post the recipe if anyone wants it.

Shall do:

Key Lime Pie
1/2 c key lime juice (~12 key limes)
2 tsp key lime zest (~3-4 limes grated)
4 egg yolks
1 14oz. can of sweetened, condensed milk

Use an electric mixer and beat the egg yolks until they are thick and turn to a light yellow, don't over mix. Turn the mixer off and add the sweetened condensed milk. Turn speed to low and mix in half of the lime juice. Once the juice is incorporated add the other half of the juice and the zest, continue to mix until blended (just a few seconds). Pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake at 350F for 12 minutes to set the yolks.

I used a Nilla wafer crust and it was damn tasty. I also make my own whipped cream. Be warned, though, this is a tart pie.
