This Key Lime Pie Made With Fresh Milled Flour is the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and creamy on a FMF graham cracker crust. I have a recipe for FMF Graham crackers or vanilla wafers. Both make a great crust for this recipe.

Instructions
Prepare The Crust
Firstly, preheat the oven to 350*F.
Crumble the Graham Crackers up into a fine sandy crumb. You can use a blender or food processor for this.
Add melted butter, salt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the graham cracker crumbs, and mix until combined.
Evenly press the crust into a 9" deep pie pan. Making sure to press the bottom and up the sides.
Bake this crust for 12-15 minutes.
Key Lime Filling
In a medium sauce pan, add sugar, fresh milled flour, and salt. Mix until combined, leaving the heat off.
Whisk eggs, lime zest, and lime juice into the sugar and flour mixture with the heat off still.
Add milk, whisk, and then cook over medium low heat. Make sure to whisk gently the mixture as it heats, so it won't curdle or burn to the bottom.
Once the mixture is incorporated and hot to the touch, usually about 5 minutes on medium low. Then, increase the heat to medium. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, and starts to bubble.
Once the mixture starts to bubble, continue whisking for 2 more minutes. Set a timer for this, so it doesn't go too long and not too short. you want this to set up properly after chilling.
Remove from heat after the 2 minutes of bubbling. Stir in the butter and vanilla until melted and combined.
Pour the filling into the baked pie crust. I like to run the filling through a stainless steel strainer for a silkier texture. Then, smooth Key lime filling into an even layer.
Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for about 1-2 hours. Then, cover and place in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours.
Optional Whipped Topping
In a stand mixer or bowl with hand mixer, place heavy cream and whisk until soft peaks form. Then, add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Continue whisking until stiff peaks are formed.
You can spread the whipped cream over the whole pie after it cools, or decorate how you wish.
Lastly, enjoy!
