This is a delicious kenny Chesney key lime pie recipe, perfect for serving large groups of people. It’s actually a special key lime pie recipe because it uses key lime juice instead of the traditional lime juice. You can use this recipe not only for key lime pies, but you can also use this recipe to make pies, cakes, cobblers, and anything else you like to eat.
Add graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup butter, 1/4 granulated sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon to a large bowl of the food processor.
Grease and process a 10-inch pie plate. Make sure you don’t leave any space between the mixture and the pie plate.
Turn the oven on to 350 degrees F and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow the pie plate to cool on the wire rack. At this point, let’s prepare the rum pie filling.
For the key lime filling
Whisk egg yolks in a large bowl until they are finely blended.
Stir in sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice and lemon juice along with the lime zest. Combine until smooth.
Beat egg whites gradually in the mixer bowl. While you are doing this, add 2 tablespoons of sugar in 2 or 3 batches. Continue beating until the foam reaches a soft peak.
Combine the foam gently with the yolks using a wide spatula. Spread the mixture into the crust.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and bake for 20 minutes. Take it out of the oven and cool it down. Cover the plate and place it in the refrigerator for four to eight hours.
For the whipped topping
Add 2 cups heavy whipping cream to a bowl and beat with a mixer until stiff and peaky. Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract, beating well.
In the refrigerator, you can keep the topping. To serve, just top with the topping above. Enjoy!
