Скачать или смотреть From Scratch, With Love ❤️:Making My First Key Lime Pie 🥧

Today marked a sweet little milestone baking in my kitchen — I made my very first Key lime pie and I was alittle bit of nervousness. This wasn’t just any pie; it was for my son Noah and our big hard working family, which made it all the more special. I’ve baked before, sure, but something about trying a classic dessert like this for the very first time — and doing it for the people I love most — felt meaningful in a whole new way.

The process was both fun and humbling. From crushing graham crackers for the crust to carefully whisking the creamy filling, I was super excited to see how it was gonna turn out. Because I had never made one and I really wasn’t sure what I was doing or what it was supposed to look like. The kitchen was filled with the scent of lime zest and and when Noah walked in, he right away, said mom I can smell that you made me a Keylime pie.

And when I finally sliced the Keylime pie after waiting for Noah to get off work all day, I gave him the first piece to try. I couldn’t wait to see the look on his face which made it all worth it. Watching our family enjoy something I made from scratch — especially something new — was one of those small but unforgettable moments. It wasn’t just dessert; it was a memory in the making.

Here’s to trying new things, feeding big hearts, and always baking with love.

🛒 Ingredients

For the crust:
• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10–12 crackers)
• ¼ cup sugar
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 cans (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 3/4 cup fresh key lime juice (or bottled if fresh is hard to find)
• 1 lime zested (optional, but recommended for extra zing)
1/2 cup of sour cream

For topping:

8 ounces of heavy cream, very cold
1 tablespoon of vanilla
3 to 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl.
• Press mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan (bottom and up the sides).
• Bake crust for 6-8 minutes, then let it cool slightly.

2. Prepare the filling:
• In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, sour cream, and zest.
• Mix until fully combined and slightly thickened.

3. Assemble and bake:
• Pour the filling into the slightly cooled crust.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes — the center should be just set but still slightly jiggly.
• Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours (overnight is even better).

4. The whipped topping:
*. Whip, heavy cream until peaks form.
*. Add in vanilla and sugar and continue mixing until it forms a cream again.
Place whipping cream into a piping bag and decorate the outside of the Keylime pie
