Ingredients

Crust

1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on package

Filling

2 cans (14 oz each) sweetened condensed milk
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup bottled or fresh Key lime juice

Topping

2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon grated lime peel

Steps

1

Heat oven to 450°F. Remove pie crusts from pouches. On lightly floured surface, unroll and stack crusts one on top of the other. Roll to 17x12-inch rectangle.
2

Fit crust into 15x10x1-inch pan, pressing firmly into corners and sides. Fold extra crust underneath and slightly on top edges of pan; poke bottom and sides of crust with fork. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown; remove from oven, and reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Cool crust on cooling rack 15 minutes.
3

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and Key lime juice with whisk until well blended. Pour into baked pie shell; spread evenly. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until filling is set. Cool on cooling rack 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 1/2 hours.
4

In large bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until thickened. Add sugar; beat to soft peaks. Spread over top of chilled slab pie. Sprinkle lime peel over top. Store covered in refrigerator.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Key limes, grown in Florida, are smaller and rounder than the common, more familiar green--or Persian--limes, and their color is more yellow than green. Although Key limes are less widely available than the common lime, bottled Key lime juice is generally available.
tip 2
If you like your Key lime pie to have a green color instead of the characteristic yellow, beat in a few drops green food color with the condensed milk.
