Ingredients

Crust:

  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1-1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup Key lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated lime zest
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

For the crust, combine ingredients and pat down into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine the milk, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon zest; blend in the egg yolks. Pour the filling into the crust.

For the meringue, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar and remaining teaspoon zest until the mixture is stiff. Spread the meringue over the filling; spread it to touch the edge of the crust all around. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.

    Crust is awesome

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    Okay first the good stuff---love the crust with the almonds but would add a tad of butter so it would be less crumbly next... time. Love the meringue too as it adds that chewy texture I love (looks impressive too). The thing is, either I am missing something or the recipe missed one step. I think it forgot to say "Bake the filling for 30 mins before adding the meringue." (as it states in Paula's other recipes) By the time I realized this, I had already put the beautiful meringue on. I sliced through it to check and as expected the filling was still runny. Baking it with the meringue for 15 minutes won't do it. I tried to salvage it by removing the meringue and baking it again but it sure ain't a pretty sight! It did become more delicious a day or two later when everything has set in.Read more

    I will make this pie again!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Living in AZ ofen means plenty of lime trees! With that, limes are given to you by every neighbor with a lime tree. :) I made... this pie for dessert last night, and it was a big hit. I read through many of the comments and made slight changes before I began. I used the homemade whipped cream, instead of the meringue. I liked that suggestion from another reviewer. Also, I added an extra tablespoon of the powered sugar. Both changes made for a GREAT pie. Even my mother-in-law liked it. :) Read more

    Too Much Crust

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I ended up with lots of crust and not enough filling. It definitely didn't look like the picture. The taste and texture... of the filling was good, though.Read more

    OMG This Was Awesome

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this for a family gathering over the weekend. There were other desserts brought as well. But what can I say, mine was... gone first. I changed it up just a bit. I added a full stick of melted margarine to the crust. That crust could have been a dessert in its self. And, I also used fresh whipped cream instead of meringue. This pie was so easy and so melt in your mouth perfect. Also, go with the Joe and Nellie's fresh key lime juice. You couldn't tell the difference. If you are worried that this pie is difficult to make don't, it was very easy. Make it and reap the rewards of everyone begging you to make it again and again. . . .Read more
