Key Lime Pie

Ingredients:

9" graham cracker pie shell
14 oz. - can sweetened condensed milk
3 - egg yolks (whites not used)
1/2 cup - Nellie and Joe's Key West Lime Juice

Combine milk, egg yolks, and lime juice.  Blend until smooth.  Pour filling into pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Allow to stand 10 minutes before refrigerating.

Serve with Strawberry Whipped Cream:

7 fresh strawberries, halved lengthwise
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Process strawberries in a food processor or blender until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.  (Hint:  use personal cup on Ninja blender).  Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl, discard solids.

Beat heavy cream, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of the strained strawberry mixture in a stand mixed fitter with a whisk attachment on medium high speed until foamy, about 30 seconds.  Gradually add powdered sugar beating until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.  (Reserve any remaining strained strawberry mixture for another use, or use it to drizzle over top).
