I like to use slices of limes for my soda.....and when I cut one slice out of the whole thing....the rest is wasted.If it's cut open already do I just put it back in the fridge.....obviously the one I cut a slice out of yesterday afternoon and left on my plate isn't any good anymore..so I assume
Dont beat the yolks first. Add extra zest a little less juice,and it will be thicker.
It sounds to me like you made more of a Key Lime Chiffon filling (which still tastes really good) rather than a cooked custard pudding type filling. I'm sorry, but my recipe for a custard type Key Lime filling is over at my parents' house about 10 miles away. I think you want a cooked filling. Cream cheese would just make it more like a cheesecake. I think your overall ingredient list sounds right, just needs to be cooked - maybe regular condensed milk and sugar rather than sweetened condensed milk. But Key Lime pie is wonderful no matter how it's made!
