Best Key Lime Pie

This is my recipe for the best key lime pie.
It's made the traditional way with just one additional ingredient.
3-oz of cream cheese to make it extra smooth and creamy.
Key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks.
 Combine condensed milk, cream cheese and egg yolks.
 Beat for 3-4 minutes until creamy.
Mix in the key lime juice.
You'll need a graham cracker pie crust (HERE)
 Pour filling into crust.
 Bake for about 10 minutes to set up.
Let cool, then refrigerate.
 Serve with whipped cream.
 Tart and sweet.
It's a classic. Perfect with coffee!

  4. That looks really good. I've only made key lime pie with real key limes. My children like to help me make it. I do want to take a bite out of yours.
