How To Make Key Lime Pie With Kermit
Have you ever found yourself wandering through life, feeling a little incomplete? Maybe it’s because you haven’t made a Key Lime Pie with Kermit yet.
Equipment
- Oven
- 9-inch pie pan
- Wire rack
- Large bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
Pie Crust Ingredients
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 1½ cups crushed graham crackers
Filling Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for a subtle depth of flavor
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt for added creaminess
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 3 cups sweetened condensed milk
- ¾ cup freshly squeezed key lime juice
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix together the graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Stir until the crumbs are well-coated. Press this mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then let it cool.
Step 2: Making the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and lime zest. Mix until smooth. Gradually whisk in the key lime juice until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Filling the Pie Crust
- Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Smooth it out with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
Step 4: Baking the Pie
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. The filling should be set but still have a bit of a wobble in the center.
Step 5: Cooling and Chilling
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack. Once it reaches room temperature, transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Notes
- Use Fresh Lime Juice: Bottled juice doesn’t do justice to the flavors.
- Don’t Skip The Zest: It adds an important depth of flavor.
- Press The Crust Firmly: Ensures a solid base that won’t crumble.
- Don’t Overbake: The center should be slightly wobbly; it sets as it cools.
- Chill Properly: Gives time for flavors to meld together beautifully.
