If you want a firm, not soft or pudding-like texture, then this is the recipe for you: Key Lime Pie by GourmetSleuth This is a recipe for real Key Lime pie. Real Key lime pie is not green and it does not have a soft pudding texture. The pie gets its true pale yellow color from the egg yolks that predominate the ingredient list. And the texture is a firm custard. Be careful that you don't over-bake the pie or it will be rubbery. For best results use fresh Key Limes, not bottled juice. The traditional preparation does not put any meringue on the top of the pie. This is a very simple recipe and only takes a few minutes to prepare and 12 minutes to bake. i n g r e d i e n t s (crust) 16 graham crackers, crushed 3 tablespoons sugar 1 cube (1/4 lb) margarine or butter d i r e c t i o n s (crust) Mix the ingredients and press them into a 9 pie plate.
