Key Lime Pie

I don't think this has been posted. This recipe is from Joe's Stone Crab in Miami. I got it off the interenet and have made it a number of times.

5 Egg yolks
2 cans (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup fresh lime juice
Zest of 1 lime

For crust:
10 Graham crackers crushed
1/4 cup sugar
5 tablespoons melted butter
Whipped cream(optional)
(I am lazy, I just buy the pre made crusts at the store-10")

For the filling: Mix the yolks, milk , juice and zest
For the crust: Mix crackers, sugar and butter. Form in a 12" pie pan. Bake 8 minutes at 375, let cool

Pout the filling in the crust and bake another 8 minutes at 375. Remove and let cool. Once cool place in freezer until ready to use

Before serving, remove from freezer and let thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes. top with whipped cream if desired.

The real key to this pie is buy good quality limes! you can tell the difference when you get cheap with the limes.
AGAIN, THIS RECIPE IS FROM JOES CRAB SHACK IN MIAMI AS POSTED ON THE INTERNET. IT AIN'T MINE
