3 cans sweetened condensed milk (preferably Eagle brand)
8 egg yolks (save whites for merengue)
1/2 cup key lime juice
2 tsp vanilla
6 tsp sugar
2 deep dish pie shells


Pour condensed milk into a bowl and stir in beaten egg yolks. Slowly add key lime juice until desired tartness. Bake pie shell in 350 degree oven for 10 min until golden brown (make sure you pierce with a fork first). Pour condensed milk ,egg ,and lime mixture into pie shell. Beat room temperature egg whites till fluffy,,, slowly adding a tsp of vanilla and 3 tsp of sugar. Spread merengue (fluffy egg whites) on top of filled pie crust. Bake in 350 degree ovem until merengue is golden brown. There's no need to cook the filling because the Lime juice has cooked the yolks already... Refrigerate for at least an hour so it will set.. dont try to eat it warm or it will be runny... If you need more lime juice you can add it to taste..
