And my, my, my...my key lime pie
From the book Pies: 300 Tried-and-True Recipes for Delicious Homeade Pie.

Joss's Stone Crab Key Lime Pie
Egg yolks and lime zest, beaten for five minutes. Add 2/3 cup of lime juice (tiny things, those Key limes...it took about twenty of them!) and a can of sweetened condensed milk. Mix. Pour into graham cracker crust (oh, sure; I got to cheat here, but as my father-in-law said, this was the easy part), chill at least two hours.
Top with one cup whipping cream mixed with a tablespoon of powdered sugar.
The custard is such a pale green, you almost can't differentiate between the two layers.
Woo-hoo! If you like lime, this is the pie for you. Intense flavor. Very good.
