Ok, here it is :D

Crust

I just use the already made graham cracker crust you can buy at any grocery store

Filling

5 egg yolks
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free condensed milk and it doesn't taste any different)
2/3 cup of key lime juice

First I put the egg yolks in a bowl and mix it well. Then I pour in the condensed milk while I am mixing the yolks. Beat for about a minute or two, until the air bubbles are gone. Then pour in the key lime juice while the mixer is still going. Mix for another 2 minutes. Make sure a majority of the air bubbles are gone. Then pour filling into pie crust. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes. Cool for 1 hour, and then put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours. Serve with whip cream or just by itself :drool

Cat, it HAS to be key lime juice. Not regular lime juice ;)

I use bottled key lime juice. I always have to special order it from Florida, since they don't carry it up here.

You can use regular key limes, but it takes forever to squeeze them.

Key Limes are much different than a regular lime. Key limes are much smaller and they aren't as bitter as a regular lime. There is definetly a difference.
