Elegant, blonde crust
Key Lime Pie, two ways is the best of both worlds, with two crusts and two fillings; one bake, one no-bake pies and graham cracker vs. not crusts.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- zest of one lime
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ cup cold butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a food processor, pulse the flour and sugar. Add the cold butter and pulse until pea sized lumps form. Add the yolk. Pulse. When the crust will just hold together, press in into a pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely before you fill it.
Notes
This is the crust I use for cheesecake (with lemon in stead of lime zest). It’s light, flakey and very elegant. I love it. If you want to surprise people with a key lime pie that’s a little unexpected, this is your crust. Want more classic and more flavor? Try the Graham Cracker Crust with extra Oomph.
