"I made this for a practical. A nice balance between sweet and tart. Be patient with squeezing limes. I recommend listening to the band Mount Righteous while baking :) Hope you enjoy!"

ingredients

key lime filling
3 (8 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
¹⁄₂ cup sour cream
³⁄₄ cup key lime juice (about 30 key limes)
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
1 egg yolk
1 pinch honey, to taste

directions

Short Dough:
Cream butter. Add sugar, honey, and salt until uniform. Add eggs one at a time until completely mixed. Add the flour -- Do NOT over mix. Roll out and then chill 3-4 hours covered. Make sure it is chilled so it is easy to handle.
Bake dough at 350 for 15 minutes.
Key lime filling:
Fold sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, key lime juice, lime zest, egg yolk, and honey.
Pour filling into pre-baked crust. Bake for about 8 minutes. I like to top with a whipped cream and tuile cookie for decoration. Martha Stewart has an awesome tuile cookie recipe.
