Marval Loki TVA’s Key Lime Pie

 

The kids and I have been watching Marval’s Loki and there is this scene in the show where they are eating key lime pie at the TVA. It made me want to try the recipe, which is very easy with just a few ingredients. I made this together with my kids and they had fun decorating 2 of them to look like Mrs. Minutes. I have a friend with a gluten allergy so I also baked some of these in small ramekins. 

 TVA’s Key Lime Pie (~from Marval’s website)

 INGREDIENTS:

4 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature

4 large egg yolks

one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup key lime juice

Mini graham cracker crust (store-bought!)

OPTIONAL: Food coloring (green, red, and yellow)

 

RECIPE:

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F

STEP TWO: In a large bowl with either a hand-held mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until soft, 1-2 minutes

STEP THREE: On medium-high speed, slowly mix in the egg yolks

STEP FOUR: Continuing to mix on medium-high speed, add in the sweetened condensed milk, followed by the lime juice

STEP FIVE: If using food coloring, transfer the batter into smaller bowls —

For GREEN: Add in 1-2 drops of green food coloring, until desired color is achieved

For ORANGE: Add in 2 drops of red food coloring, followed by 12 drops of yellow food coloring until the desired color is achieved

STEP SIX: Evenly divide the batter between the graham cracker crusts

STEP SEVEN: Place the crusts on an oven-safe pan and transfer to the oven, baking for 14-15 minutes until the middle of the batters only slightly jiggle in the middle. 

STEP EIGHT: Remove from the oven and let the pies cool at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator for a minimum of two hours

STEP NINE: Remove pies from the refrigerator and serve with whipped cream, or decorate accordingly. Baked pies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week!
