Key Lime Pie

1 (8 or 9 inch) baked pastry shell or graham cracker crumb crust

3 egg yolks

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup lime juice from concentrate (use more if you like it tangy!)

yellow or green food coloring (optional)

whipped cream or whipped topping

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In a large mixer bowl, beat egg yolks with sweetened condensed milk, lime juice and optional food coloring.  Pour into prepared pastry shell; bake 30 minutes.  Cool.  Chill.  Top with whipped cream.  Garnish as desired.  Refrigerate leftovers.

Tip: For 9 or 10 inch pie, double the filling ingredients and bake 40 minutes.

Can substitute Lime Juice with lemon juice to make Creamy Lemon Pie.
