Easy Key Lime Pie and Mango Key Lime Pie Recipes

Check out my recipes for the photo featured in my last blog post:

                                             Mango Key Lime Pie and Key Lime Pie recipes



I also wanted to share some more photos to help you with the steps for this recipe.

Fresh Key Limes from our backyard



I used fresh Key Limes from the tree in our backyard. If you can't find fresh Key Limes, another good option is Nellie and Joe's Famous Key West Lime Juice or another comparable brand of Key Lime juice.










An exact 1/2 cup measure of Key Lime juice

         
         
          Use a good standard measuring cup to
          ensure that you have the proper
          measurement. This is particularly important
          when baking.











Separate egg yolks from whites manually or using an egg separator




If you have trouble separating egg yolks from egg whites manually, using an egg separator will help with this step.









                 

Whisked Egg Yolks
 
                  


                 Whisk the eggs yolks only. You 
                 can reserve the egg whites for 
                 another recipe. I used mine to                   make a delicious egg white
                 omelet using onions, tomatoes,
                 fresh basil, and grated goat cheese.
                


 
 
 
   
Add the Key Lime juice and whisk in  for a minute or so until completely incorporated into the egg yolks.











Add sweetened condensed milk





Continue using the wire whisk to blend in the sweetened condensed milk.










Layer mango slices



                    

             Layer the mango slices, overlapping them
             if needed to completely cover the bottom
             layer of the graham cracker crust.








Pour Key Lime mixture over mango slices
                                                       



Pour Key Lime mixture over mango slices using a rubber spatula to scrape the mixture from the sides of the bowl.










Fill graham cracker crust completely





                  Pour all of Key Lime pie mixture into
                  the graham cracker crust and bake at
                  350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15
                  minutes.   







Garnish with additional mango slices if desired
                                                               
                

           

Let Mango Key Lime Pie cool completely. You can garnish the top by layering with additional mango slices. Some people like their pie served with a dollop of whipped cream as well. Enjoy!
