Enjoy the dog days of 🌞Summer with a cool and refreshing Praline Key Lime Pie. It's quick and easy to prepare, but don't forget to allot time for the pie to chill out - literally.Â
1 cup fresh Key lime or lime juice 1 1/2 cups whipping cream 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
PREPARATION
Step 1Â
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
Step 2
Stir together graham cracker crumbs, next 2 ingredients, and 1/2 cup toasted pecans until blended. Press crumb mixture on bottom, up sides, and onto lip of a lightly greased 10-inch deep-dish pie plate.Â
Step 3
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven to a wire rack, and cool completely (about 45 minutes).
Step 4
Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup toasted pecans over bottom of crust; drizzle caramel topping over pecans.
Step 5
Whisk together sweetened condensed milk and next 3 ingredients. Gently pour into prepared crust.
Step 6
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until almost set. (The center will not be firm but will set up as it chills.) Cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Cover and chill 4 hours.
Step 7
Beat whipping cream at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy; gradually add powdered sugar, beat until soft peaks form. Dollop or spread over pie.
