• 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 tablespoons grated lime rind
• 1 pint heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

3. 3

   Beat the egg yolks until light and lemon colored. Using a wire whisk, beat in the condensed milk. Blend in the lime juice and grated lime rind. Spoon into the pie crust and smooth the top.

   Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until gently set. Cool and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

   Before serving, whip the cream with the vanilla until stiff peaks form. Pipe the cream onto the pie and garnish with extra sliced limes if desired.
