OK, so my cousin came to visit last week, and I wanted to make some kind of cool, no bake pie, since it's been in the 90s here. I saw a few strawberry no bake pies that looked good, but when I got home from the grocery store, I realized that I had some of the ingredients for one pie, and some for the other, but I didn't have all the recipes for any of the pies...what??? So I threw some ingredients together, and the results were pretty good. But...now I have some disconnected ingredients left over, and wondering what to do with them. I have frozen lime juice, from a bag of Costco limes I squeezed. I have two cans of sweetened condensed milk, some sour cream, some eggs, and graham crackers. So I put those ingredients into Google, and it gave me this recipe. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/15880/key-lime-pie-vii/ It looks good, it looks easy, but for the life of me, I can't tell what makes this pie set up! There are no eggs. I'm afraid I'm going to end up with lime soup. :crazy: So I'm wondering if any of you have ever made a pie like this, and does it really hold together?
P.S. Can anyone tell me why the graham cracker crust on my strawberry pie came out like cement? This was a no bake pie. The crust was 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and 6T melted butter. It was hard as a rock, and had to be chiseled off of the pie plate. It was still good, but not very pretty. Any ideas?
