Pie in a
loaf pan sound strange? Well after I saw this I decided I had to try it. It
hits all the checkpoints for me. I like Key Lime Pie but it is way too much
pie for one person even giving some of it away. This makes five pieces and the
loaf pan fits great in my Breville counter top oven. Also I used GF graham
cracker crumbs so that I and my daughter could both eat it. As we are both
diagnosed Celiac suffers we have to be careful and not eat dishes with gluten
in them.
I did find that the GF cracker crumbs do not
require all of the butter called for in the recipe so will cut back some next
time I make it. It is a denser filling than I have had but still good.
If you notice the clips on the pan with the
parchment paper, that is a Martha Stewart trick and it works so well. Keeps
that paper from sliding around when you are pouring something into a pan. I
used regular limes as I didn’t find any Key Limes at the stores.
Key Lime Pie
Recipe in a Loaf Pan
A small key
lime pie recipe made in a loaf pan.
Ingredients
8 whole
graham cracker sheets
3
tablespoons (1.5 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
1.5
tablespoons granulated sugar
For the
filling:
1 14-ounce
can of sweetened condensed milk
3 large egg
yolks
2 to 3 limes
to make 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus the zest (Regular limes)
Instructions
Preheat the
oven to 350.
- Line a 9x5" bread loaf pan with parchment paper with overhanding sides to use as handles to lift out the pie later. Spray the pan with cooking spray.
- Next, in a food processor, combine the graham crackers, melted butter and sugar. Pulse until the crumbs are fine.
- Press the graham cracker crumbs into the pan, Bake for 10 minutes, and let cool. Leave the oven on.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, citrus juice and egg yolks (reserve the egg whites for another use). Grate the zest of 1 lime into the mixture and whisk to combine.
- Pour the filling into the crust and slide it back into the oven for 18-20 minutes.
- When the pie is done, it will be very slightly jiggly.
- Let the pie cool to room temperature, cover it with plastic wrap loosely, and refrigerate overnight.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream and extra freshly grated lime zest on top.
