KEY LIME PIE

This is an incredibly easy to make dessert, if you know how to make a pie
crust.

1 9" pre-baked pie crust or a Graham cracker crust, if you prefer that.

1/2 cup lime juice (3 to 4 regular limes -- it isn't necessary to use the
   tiny "key limes" [also called "Mexican limes"] which are hard to find and
   are relatively expensive)
1 can sweetened condensed (not evaporated) milk
3 egg yolks

Optional decorative topping and accompaniment:
  1/2 to 1 cup whipping cream
  1 to 2 heaping tablespoons confectioners suger
  1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat the ingredients together slowly until the lime juice and egg yolks 
are thoroughly incorporated into the condensed milk.  Pour into pre-baked
pie shell and bake for 12 minutes.

If desired, after the pie has thoroughly cooled, decorate the top with
sweetened whipped cream (I put a ring of cream around the outside and a dab
in the middle).  [This uses 1/2 cup whipping cream.]  Put any extra whipped
cream on the table for guests who want more.  [If you do this, use a
cup of whipping cream.]
