Key Lime Pie. 4 Steps to Deliciousness

Needed to whip up a quick dessert for some unexpected guests stopping by. After raiding the pantry, I decided whip up a Key Lime Pie. Next time you're caught in a similiar situation, save yourself some effort and time driving to the market, waiting in line, etc. Once you read the recipe, you'll realize how easy it is to make. Costs $4 to make from semi-scratch; $14 to buy at the market. The $10 saved buys an awful lot of Ice Cafe Lattes this weekend.

Ingredients:
1 Ready Made Graham Cracker Pie Crust
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup Key Lime Pie
Whipped cream
1/4 finely chopped walnuts
2 limes, thinly sliced, for garnish

Step by Step:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees

1. Using an electric mixer, combine the milk and egg yolks at slow speed. Gradually add the lime juice. Mix until well blended and mixture has thickened.
2. Poor batter into the graham cracker pie crust .
3.Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool and refrigerate until chilled.
4. Top with whipped cream, chopped walnuts and lime slices.
