Here's your next president....

(note the roundtable discussion from this same event will be posted later)

And here's your pie....

Key Lime Pie

For crust
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs from 9 (2 1/4-inch by 4 3/4-inch) crackers
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For filling
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh or bottled Key lime juice (if using bottled, preferably Manhattan brand)

For topping
3/4 cup chilled heavy cream

Make crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl with a fork until combined well, then press mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of a 9-inch (4-cup) glass pie plate.

Bake crust in middle of oven 10 minutes and cool in pie plate on a rack. Leave oven on.

Make filling and bake pie:
Whisk together condensed milk and yolks in a bowl until combined well. Add juice and whisk until combined well (mixture will thicken slightly).

Pour filling into crust and bake in middle of oven 15 minutes. Cool pie completely on rack (filling will set as it cools), then chill, covered, at least 8 hours.

Make topping:
Just before serving, beat cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks. Serve pie topped with cream.

Cooks' note:
• Pie (without topping) can be chilled up to 1 day.

2. Great memories of our first rental, a FL bungalow with lizards, roaches & a key lime tree.
A never-ending supply of key lime juice for our pies, when my hips didn't mind. I'd squeeze the juice for ice cube trays, and maybe 2-3 cubes (forgotten) for a single pie. Recipe looks about right.

My favorite pie, but sweet potato/cheescake cupcakes for this T'Giving Obama celebration and fundraiser for a 2009 candidate.

Thanks.
