It’s Sweet Treat Week<\/a> here at The Goods! And to kick things off on the recipe front, here is a sweet and tart little number that I whipped up the other night. It’s basically a key lime pie with raspberry whip cream. Yum!<\/p>\n

Crust<\/strong>
\n1 1\/2 cups of crushed graham crackers
\n5 T of melted butter
\na pinch of brown sugar and cinnamon (to taste)
\n1 tsp of vanilla<\/p>\n

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Use a food processor to crush graham crackers into small pieces. Or, you can do what I did,\u00a0 put grahams in a ziplock bag and roll over it with a rolling pin until crushed to bits! Put grahams in a bowl, stir in melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Press mixture into a pie pan. Pop into the oven for 5-10 minutes. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Lime Custard<\/strong>
\n1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
\n1\/2 cup fresh lime juice
\n2 teaspoons grated lime zest
\n2 egg yolks<\/p>\n

Pour milk, lime juice and zest into a bowl. Mix well. Blend in the egg yolks. (Try to make something with those leftover egg whites!) Pour filling into the pie shell. Pop in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow to cool. Refrigerate for a few hours. It’s best when refrigerated overnight!<\/p>\n

Raspberry Whip Cream<\/strong>
\n1 1\/2 cups cold heavy cream
\n1-2 T of sugar
\n1-2 cups of raspberries (depending on how much flavor you want)
\n2 tsp sugar<\/p>\n

Rinse fresh raspberries and sprinkle 1-2 tsp of sugar (depending on how many raspberries you choose to use). Stir sugar in with berries and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Mash with a fork. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Pour heavy cream into a bowl with 1-2 T of sugar, depending on how sweet you want it. Whip heavy cream with a whisk or use an electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks.<\/p>\n

Pour berries through a sieve and into the whip cream. Press berry mixture with the back of a spoon to get as much juice as possible. Try not to over-stir the mixture. I made the mistake of over-stirring, and my whip cream ended up looking a bit sad by the time it made it to the pie:(<\/p>\n

Spread whip cream over pie and garnish with raspberries and lime twists. Chill for an hour or more. The colder the pie, the better it is! Enjoy!<\/p>\n
