Lime Sour Cream Pie Recipes

KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the graham cracker crust for 6-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• In a large bowl combine the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, key lime juice, and lime zest. Using a hand mixer, beat until thoroughly combined. About 1 minute. If you don't have a hand mixer you can use a whisk and just whisk vigorously. Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Tiny pinhole bubbles will begin to burst on the surface of the pie (hard to see so watch closely). Do not brown the pie.
• Remove the pie and let sit at room temperature until warm. Then chill thoroughly before serving.
• Garnish with freshly whipped cream and lime slices.

KEY LIME PIE VII

• Bake in preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie. DO NOT BROWN! Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.

CLASSIC KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Press mixture into bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form crust. Bake 10 minutes or until crust begins to brown. Cool 15 minutes on wire rack.
• Whisk sweetened condensed milk, lime juice and sour cream in large bowl until blended. Stir in lime peel. Pour filling into crust. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until tiny bubbles begin to form on surface of pie. Cool completely on wire rack.
• Beat cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in large mixing bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until stiff. Top pie with whipped cream. Chill at least 1 hour before serving. Best served the same day.

SOUR CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Beat eggs until light & fluffy.
• Add sugar, flour, almond extract. Mix well.
• Fold in sour cream & craisins.
• Pour into pie shell.
• Place on baking sheet & put into oven. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temp to 350 degrees and bake for 25 minutes. Pie should be lightly browned and set in the middle. It will still "jiggle" slightly and will firm as it cools.
• Cool, cut into wedges, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
• Note: I have also subbed dried apricots (finely diced)for the craisins and added 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg for a different pie.
