I've used these two for when I don't want to mess with juicing key limes.  Of course, they came off the side of the bottle of Nellie & Joes' key lime juice

Key Lime Pie
•   9" graham cracker pie crust
•   14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
•   3 egg yolks (whites not used)
•   ½ cup Nellie & Joe's Key West Lime Juice
Combine milk, egg yolks and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Pour filling into pie crust and bake at 350º for 15 minutes. Allow to stand 10 minutes before refrigerating. Just before serving, top with freshly whipped cream, or meringue, and garnish with lime slices.


My MIL would make this one

Key Lime "No Cook" Cool Whip Recipe
•   1 can sweetened condensed milk
•   ½ cup Nellie & Joe's Key West Lime
•   8 oz. container coolwhip
•   Graham cracker crust
Whisk sweetened condensed milk with Nellie & Joe's Key West Lime Juice until evenly mixed. Fold in coolwhip and fill crust. Refrigerate.


And for the times you just want to get lime juice squirted in the eye and feel adventurous – this one is with fresh key limes.

•   1/2 cup fresh lime juice (12 to 15 key limes)
•   4 teaspoons grated lime zest
•   4 egg yolks
•   1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
•   11 graham crackers
•   3 tablespoons granulated sugar
•   5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
It's easier to remove the lime zest from whole limes so I would start with that. Then I would cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice being careful not to include any pits.  I squeeze the limes over a big tea strainer

Process the graham crackers in a food processor or blender.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in another bowl.  Melt butter in micro or over low heat and  add butter and stir with a fork until well blended.   Pour this mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and press over the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Try using the bottom of a measuring cup to make sure the graham cracker mixture forms a firm crust on the bottom of the pie pan.  Bake on the center rack for about 15 minutes until the crust is lightly brown, remove and let cool to room temperature.
Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl until tinted light green. This takes about 2 minutes.  Beat in milk, then juice and set aside at room temperature till it thickens.  Pour the lime filling into crust, spread evenly, and then bake for 15 minutes until the center sets, but still wiggles when shaken.  Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.  Refrigerate for at least three hours until well chilled.

Some of you might like to serve it with a whipped cream topping or a meringue topping, but many  (including myself)  prefer keeping it simple – no topping.
