Ingredients:
- 4 egg yolks (I used the egg whites in meringues after!)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 C lemon juice
- 1/4 C key lime juice
- 1/2 C sour cream
- 3 TB powdered sugar
- 1/2 C graham crackers, crumbled
- 2 TB butter, melted
Procedure:
In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks on high until frothy and light yellow. Add the condensed milk and beat for an additional 30 seconds.
Pour this mixture into a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and stir in the half of each of the lemon and lime juices. Stirring often, heat this mixture for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture begins to bubble. Remove from the burner and let cool. Once this is cool you can cover it and pop it in the fridge.
In a clean bowl, combine the sour cream, the remainder of the lemon and lime juices, and powdered sugar. Cover this mixture and chill in the fridge as well.
Mix the melted butter and graham cracker crumbles, this will serve as the "crust". Spoon ~ 2 TB of the mixture into the bottom of whatever glasses you are using serving your dessert. Do NOT press it in hard -- if you do this it will be almost impossible to get out when you are finally eating it. Next take out the first mixture (juices + eggs) and pour into the glasses. Finally top it off with the last mixture (sour cream, powdered sugar, juice).
These are absolutely delicious if you add whipped cream (homemade or not!) or fruit to the top. Enjoy and have fun experimenting!
