How to Make Mom's Key Lime Pie
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare your 9-inch pie crust.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg yolks with an electric mixer until light and pale yellow.
- Gradually add 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Stir in 1 cup of freshly squeezed Key lime juice (about 8-10 limes). Mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour the lime filling into the prepared pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add ½ cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Carefully spread the meringue over the lime filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and the filling is set.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours for optimal flavor.
