Happy Happy Friday y’all!!! I always like to reiterate that I am the complete and total opposite of a trained chef, pastry chef etc., and today is one of those recipes that will again prove this haha.  I literally made this Key Lime Meringue Pie over a month ago, and I’ve been debating since that time if I should even post it because it just didn’t turn out exactly how I had hoped.  I absolutely love key lime pie and though the pie part of this recipe tasted like a fluffy,  mousse-like version of regular key lime pie, it wasn’t fantastic. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As you will see in one of my pictures below, it literally deflated under the weight of the meringue, womp womp.  Speaking of meringue, that is a totally different story.  The recipe for this meringue is different than any I’ve seen and it turned out 100% perfect.  Not only was it delicious & beautiful, but it was stinking easy to make, like, if I can make this meringue, anyone can.  In the future I will certainly be placing this meringue on top of my The Best Key Lime Pie<\/a>,  just not this particular one.  FYI, this key lime pie has ice cream in it, which I thought was a cool ingredient, but I think that’s why the texture was off and it immediately collapsed when I cut into it.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

I also thought I would rig the crust with Biscoff cookies (some of my favs) to change it up a bit, but I think I messed up the ratio of butter to cookie\/cracker and it was a bit soggier than I had hoped-again, I am not a professional haha.  Anyways, I spent quite a bit of time making this concoction so I figured I might as well post it, and the meringue recipe alone is worth it.  Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and good luck to all of the teachers, students and parents that are starting back Monday-which, in my humble little opinion is wwaaayy too early to be going back to school, but what the heck do I know?  Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

         \t\t\t

         FOR THE CRUST<\/div>\t\t\t

         \t\t\t\t
         1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         2. In a food processor (or a plastic bag and you can crush with a rolling pin), place your graham crackers and Biscoff cookies and process until fine crumbs.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         3. Place your cracker\/cookies into a small bowl with the melted butter and brown sugar, and mix until the texture of wet sand.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         4. Pour your cookie\/butter\/sugar mixture into your pie pan and with your hands press firmly into your pan until the bottom and sides are coated evenly.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
         5. Place the pie pan into the freezer to firm up.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
            \t\t\t

            FOR THE KEY LIME FILLING<\/div>\t\t\t

            \t\t\t\t
            1. Separate the 6 eggs, making sure to save the egg whites later for the meringue.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
            2. Place the eggs yolks into your stand mixer with whisk attachment or bowl with hand mixer and zest your key limes into the egg yolk and mix together for about 2 minutes or until kind of frothy.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
            3. Now add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to mix until smooth and is a pale yellow color.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
            4. Now add the ice cream and key lime juice and continue to mix for a few more minutes or until smooth and a bit airy.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
            5. Pour the mixture into your crust and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges of the crust begin to brown and the middle doesn't jiggle.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
            6. Take out and make sure to let cool completely (I suggest placing in the fridge) before adding the meringue or it will melt.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
               \t\t\t

               FOR THE MERINGUE<\/div>\t\t\t

               \t\t\t\t
               1. With a handheld mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment, add your saved egg whites with the corn syrup and about 1\/4 of the sugar and begin to whisk vigorously.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
               2. Add the rest of the sugar in small increments until all is incorporated and continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, stiff peaks form, and your meringue has a glossy look to it.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
               3. Top your cooled pie with the meringue and spread evenly all over the pie until completely covered.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
               4. Place your pie back into the oven for about 8 more minutes (just watch carefully) to brown the top of the meringue.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
               5. Allow to cool completely and enjoy!!!<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
                  \t\t\t

                  Notes<\/div>\t\t\t

                  \t\t\t\t
                  1. If you can't find key limes to zest you can substitute with 1 regular lime.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
