I was watching Food Network on Demand, and the Barefoot Contessa made a
frozen key lime pie....anyone have
the recipe?



Frozen Key Lime Pie

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
6 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons grated lime zest
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (4 to 5 limes)

For the decoration:
1 cup (1/2 pint) cold heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Thin lime wedges


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For the crust, combine the graham
cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl. Press into a 9-inch Pyrex pie
pan, making sure the sides and the bottom are an even thickness. Bake for
10 minutes until firm and golden. Allow to cool completely. For the
filling, beat the egg yolks and sugar on high speed in the bowl of an
electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for 5 minutes, until thick.
With the mixer on medium speed, add the condensed milk, lime zest, and
lime juice. Pour into the baked pie shell and freeze. For the decoration,
beat the heavy cream on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted
with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and vanilla
and beat until firm. Spoon or pipe decoratively onto the pie and decorate
with lime. Freeze for several hours or overnight.

Note: If you have concerns about raw eggs, combine the yolks with 1/2 cup
of the lime juice used in the recipe in a double boiler. Whisk constantly
over medium heat until the mixture reaches 140 degrees. Use in place of
the raw egg yolks, remembering to add the remaining 1/4 cup of lime juice
to the filling mixture along with the condensed milk and zest.
