A fellow viewer found this recipe of one of Houston’s most famous restaurants in the Houston Chronicle. It is made in a fluted 10-inch pie pan with removable bottom. If you can’t find it then use a deep – dish pie pan or a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. You will be happy with this rich and luscious pie.
Anthony’s Key Lime Pie

- 42 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 5 egg yolks
- 2 cups lime juice fresh or bottled
- 2 pints whipped cream
- lime slices and mint sprigs for decorations
Instructions

- In another bowl, mix condensed milk, egg yolks and lime juice on low speed of mixer until well-blended (it should be creamy color and slightly thickened) about 2 minutes.
- Pour into prepared pie shell and bake in preheated 350 degree oven 18 to 24 minutes (pressing surface lightly with finger should leave a mark). Remove from oven and let cool. Refrigerate 6 to 8 hours before serving. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream, fresh lime slices and mint sprigs.

Delicious! I used this recipe for the custard and substituted 1/2 C full fat yogurt for sour cream. For the crust, I used a recipe that @Kopykats the crust that “Houston’s” restaurant used. I substituted 1/2 C packed brown suger, added pecans (or macadamia nuts), sea salt, cinnamon. It came out delicious and the tip of no sugar in the whipped cream (just Vanilla)worked well as the pie and crust were sweet enough!

Having eaten this a lot we tend to detect the presence of pecans in the crust. If we wanted to add them how would you recommend we do so?
Stephanie
I would add about 1/4 cup of pecans, and add an additional 2 teaspoons of melted butter to the crust.
