A recipe for dessert with Key Lime??s?

I grabbed two bags of Key Limes and have already made a key lime pie with a graham crust in the past so I want to try something else! Does anyone have any not-too-advanced recipes they could share before Christmas Eve 2022? Thanks!

The standard Key Lime Pie is on the back of the Nellie and Joes Key lime juice. Traditionally there is not much variation to the recipe because until the 7 mile bridge was built in the Florida keys ingredients were hard to come by, and is why a traditional key lime pie has condensed milk in it. An ingredient that is shelf stable and can be used to make a custard.

For the recipe below simply juice your key limes till you hit a half a cup. Be sure not to over cook, it will set more as it cools. If you wanted to have more recipes of what to do with key limes check out Nellie & joes website they have several - something I didn't know till looking for this recipe, despite being a born and raised Floridian. My personal variation of this is to use some lime zest (from standard limes, I didn't like the key lime zest). felt it just took it to the next level

Nellie & Joe’s Key Lime Pie

9″ graham cracker pie crust
14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
3 egg yolks (whites not used)
½ cup Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime Juice

Combine milk, egg yolks and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Pour filling into pie crust and bake at 350º for 15 minutes. Allow to stand 10 minutes before refrigerating. Just before serving, top with freshly whipped cream, or meringue, and garnish with lime slices.

PS: as a garnish it might be fun to use the extra key limes to duplicate the chefsteps "Half-Candied Blood Orange" recipe but key limes. Just a thought.

Also, noticing you want to change the crust, food and wine had a few good pie crust ideas. they were "Granola Marshmallow Pie crust", "White Chocolate Meringue pie crust", "Sweet-and-Salty Pretzel and Waffle Cone Piecrust". Give them a search on food and wine's website if you are interested

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons butter, melted

2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup key lime juice

2 eggs

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Baking usually takes 30-35 minutes.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! If you're looking for more ideas, there are tons of cool recipes on the website quick ez recipes. Have fun trying out different key lime desserts and PM me if you need any clarifications on the recipe!

A great dessert idea using key limes is a Key Lime Cheesecake. Here's a simple recipe that you can try:

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
24 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
3 eggs
1/2 cup key lime juice
1 tbsp key lime zest
Whipped cream and additional key lime zest for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter.
Press mixture onto bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy.
Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar and beat until smooth.
Add sour cream, eggs, key lime juice, and key lime zest. Mix well.
Pour mixture into prepared crust.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until center is almost set.
Cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Garnish with whipped cream and additional key lime zest before serving.

This recipe is easy to follow and doesn't require any advanced skills. It's a great dessert option for Christmas Eve, and the tangy flavor of the key limes adds a nice twist to a classic cheesecake. Don't forget to garnish with whipped cream and extra key lime zest for an extra pop of flavor and presentation. Enjoy!

Regards!
