PARKER'S LIGHTHOUSE KEY LIME PIE
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed Key lime
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 1 homemade graham cracker crust, baked in a 9-inch, deep-dish pie pan
Place the condensed milk, cream cheese, lime juice and vanilla in a food processor or, if available, the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk beater. (At the restaurant, they used a commercial-size blender.) Blend or whisk on medium speed for 15 minutes.
Place filling in the cooled, baked crust and refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh whipped cream and twisted lime slices. Makes 8 servings.
