We had this pie in a Miami Beach restaurant back in the 50's and begged for the recipe. It's been a family favorite.

How To Make mom's key lime pie
-
1Prepare 9” graham cracker crust, cool. You might like this Graham cracker crust better than the store ones. 12 whole graham crackers, crushed 3 T. brown sugar 6 T. butter 350 degrees for 12”
-
2Mix 1 can Borden’s Eagle Brand milk with ½ cup fresh lime, Key Lime or lemon juice. Stir until it thickens. Add green food coloring carefully.
-
3Pour into cooled crust and cover with ½ pint of whipped sweetened cream (I like heavy cream as it holds up longer). Refrigerate. Best if cut after it has chilled well.
