1                  14oz can sweeten Condensed Milk

1                  8 oz pkg. Of Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature

¾ C             Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime Juice

2                  egg yolks

½ T             Vanilla

1                  9-inch Graham Cracker piecrust

I always use the Nellie & Joe’s Key West limejuice.  When visiting Key West, Jacki and I ate wonderful Key Lime pie made with the local Key West Lime Juice.

Place the unopened can of condensed milk in a bowl of hot tap water for about 5 minutes.  This allows it to thin down so it does not pour like STP Oil Treatment.  When milk heats up and the cream cheese is room temperature, place cream cheese, limejuice and egg yolks into a large mixing bowl and use your electric mixer on low speed.  Mix until very smooth.  Slowly add the vanilla and blend.  Pour the mixture into a graham cracker crust.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on rack for 10 minutes.  Place in refrigerator until set, about 3 to 4 hours.  Top with a slice of lime or a mint leaf and a dollop of whipped cream.  If making fresh whipped cream, add a touch of limejuice and vanilla while whipping.
