Ingredients

Scale

Crust

2 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup shredded sweet coconut

3 TBs brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 1/4 stick butter, melted

Key Lime Filling

14 oz sweetened condensed milk

zest & juice from 20-25 key limes (or 3/4 cups lime juice and 1 to 2 TBs zest)

4 egg yolks

3 TBs Silver Tequila

1/2 TB Vanilla Extract

1/4 tsp salt

Whipped Cream

2 cups heavy cream

2 TBs sugar

2 TBs Coconut Rum (I used Malibu)


Instructions

Crust

Combine the graham cracker crumbs, coconut flakes, brown sugar, cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix until it has the consistency of wet sand. Press the mixture into your pie dish. Set aside.

Key Lime Filling

Preheat oven to 350°.

Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Add the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice and zest, vanilla extract, tequila, and salt. Whisk until well combined. Pour into the pie dish.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until just set. Remove and set aside to cool.

Whipped Cream

Once the pie has cooled slightly, make the whipped cream.

In a standing mixer using the whisk attachment, add the heavy cream, sugar, and coconut rum. Starting on a medium speed, start to whisk the liquid. Once it starts to thicken, increase the speed to high. Continue to whisk for about 5 minutes, or until stiff peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the pie. If desired, put more lime zest over the top.

Refrigerate about 4 hours before serving.

Enjoy!


Notes

You can also use a handheld mixer to make the whipped cream.
