Strawberry Key Lime Pie

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

Crust:
1 cup All-Purpose Flour, plus more for mixing, if needed
1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed Light Brown Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla
1 8-ounce package Cream Cheese, cut into cubes

Filling:
1 14-ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
3 Eggs
1/2 cup Key Lime Juice (bottled or fresh)
1 16-ounce package Frozen Sweetened Strawberries, thawed and drained
Whipped Cream
Fresh Basil Leaves

 
   
Preparation:  
   

To make crust:
In mixing bowl, combine flour, sugars, vanilla and cream cheese cubes. Use 2 forks to combine mixture until it is crumbly, resembling peas. You may need to add extra flour to get this consistency. Roll mixture into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed. To make filling: Combine condensed milk, eggs, lime juice and drained strawberries in a bowl. Blend with electric hand mixer until smooth.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove dough ball from plastic wrap. Roll out dough on a floured surface. Place in 9-inch deep-dish or 10-inch pie pan and trim edges to fit. Pour filling into shell and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the middle of the pie is solid and the top is bubbling and light brown. Serve either hot or cold. Serve the whipped cream on the side.
