Love, Neffie: Key Lime Pie!

Yesterday was Monday. Or for those of you who love Adventure Time as much as I do, it was Adventure Time Monday.
Adventure Time Monday involves me going to the apartment above and left of mine to watch 3 old and 1 new Adventure Time episodes with my buddy, Justin, and his housemates and such.
Normally I just make some popcorn, but yesterday, I went all out and made a key lime pie!
Technically, it was just a lime pie, as I could not find key limes or key lime juice anywhere, so yeah. It was still tasty and you can make this pie with good ol' lime, but I do like it best with Key Limes.
Super easy, tasty and straight out of Village Baker's Wife cookbook. One of the best books known to man kind. I highly recommend visiting Gale's Bakery if you're ever around the Santa Cruz area, that is where this recipe comes from.
Anyways...Here's how to make it!

Graham Cracker Crust

Ingredients:

1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
.5 stick butter (melted)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Crush up graham crackers. You can use a food processor, a blender, your own strength, doesn't matter. Just crush up dem crackers!

Then, melt the butter.

Mix butter and crumbs with your hands or a spoon in a bowl.

Place "dough" in pie pan and spread evenly around the pie pan with your fingers.

Make sure to get the edges!

Bake crust for 5 minutes and then let cool for about 1/2 hour before putting pie in it.

Key Lime Pie

Ingredients:

8 ounces of cream cheese
1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lime juice*
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

*about 4 limes will do the trick. If you're buying limes and not juice, make sure to juice them before making your pie!

Put cream cheese in mixing bowl and mix until smooth and creamy.

While still mixing, get your sweetened condensed milk and pour in a steady stream into cream cheese. Mix until well incorporated.

Steady Stream...

Add lime juice and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.

Lime juice and vanilla extract!

Grab your prebaked graham cracker crust and pour filling into it.

Pour it in there!

Smooth it out and freeze for approx. 2 hours pre serving or fridge for 5.

PIE!

Whipped Cream

Ingredients:

Heavy whipping cream

Some sugar

Pour some cream and sugar into a bowl.

Whip it until it looks like whipped cream.

Serve with pie!

I got a little fancy with mine and placed limes around the edge.

Lime edge..eh?

Then I made the whipped cream and being a college student, I thought to myself "I don't want to carry whipped cream and the pie to Justin's..." So I whipped the cream, chilled it for awhile, then spread it on top of the pie. It looked a little messy, so I made another scalloped edge with limes going in the opposite direction and, I have to say, it looked pretty awesome.
