Default Key Lime Pie

Made one last night. Quick and easy:

2 cups Graham crackers (crushed)
6 Tb sugar
6 Tb butter (melted)
1 cup Key Lime juice
6 egg YOLKS
2 14oz cans sweetened condensed milk

First three ingredients make the crust. I don't prebake it,
just press it into a 10 inch pie pan. Beat the last three
ingredients and then pour in pan and bake at 325 for 15
minutes. Warning: This makes a very full pie pan. Run
the crust right up to the edge.

I tasted some of the Key Lime juice, and it wasn't just
sour, it was bitter too. I had the impression that if I had
dripped some on the floor, it would have immediately
eaten through to the creepy crawly place.

This pie is tart as all get out. I whipped up some cream
and sugar to take the edge off. Some brave souls at
work would have nothing to do with the whipped cream.
Oh, yeah. And if had had Cool Whip, I wouldn't have
bothered beating the cream.
