Nellie & Joe's Key Lime Pie

9" graham cracker pie shell

1, 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk

3 egg yolks

1/2 cup key lime juice (see notes)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a bowl, mix together the milk, egg yolks and lime juice. Stir well until combined and smooth.

Pour mixture into prepared pie shell and bake 15 minutes at 350°F. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes on a baker's rack, then refrigerate until set. Top with freshly whipped cream and freshly grated lime zest or lime wedges just before serving.

Note: Nellie and Joe's Key Lime Juice is available in many supermarkets, but if you are unable to find it you can easily sub fresh lime juice from the small Mexican limes sold in most markets as well. Regular (Persian) limes will work in a pinch, but the flavor is not the same as the Key Limes or Mexican Limes will give. For easier juicing, pick up a lime squeezer at the Latin market. They are indispensable in my kitchen.
