Key Lime Pie

Ingredients (scaled)

1 servings

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the crumbs with the melted butter. When the butter is blended evenly press the mixture into a pie pan, making sure the crust is even from the bottom to the rim of the pie pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Pour into the prepared pie pan and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool for 30 minutes, then chill until cold. Make sure your mixing bowl and whip are free of grease. In the mixer bowl combine the egg whites, sugars and cream of tartar. Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, whisking continuously until the mixture is just warm to the touch and sugar is dissolved. Attach the bowl to the mixer and whip until soft peaks form. The meringue should be shiny and smooth. Whimsically spread the meringue on the pie, making sure its completely covered all the way to the edges. Bake the pie on the center rack of the oven for 6 to 7 minutes or until meringue is browned nicely. Cool before serving.
