Frozen Key Lime Dessert

I just got this recipe from Liz and thought I'd share if anyone is needing a good dessert for the holiday weekend :) It's soooo yummy!




2 C. fine graham cracker crumbs
6 Tbs. melted butter
2 cans Eagle brand milk
4 eggs separated
12 oz. lime juice (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 C. sugar
6 drops green food coloring

Combine crumbs and butter. Reserve 1/2 C. mixture. Press remaining mixture on bottom and sides of buttered 9 X 13 pan - chill. Beat egg yoks until thick; combine with eagle brand milk, add lime and vanilla, stir until thickened & tint pale green. Beat egg whites into soft peak and gradually add sugar; beat until stiff but not dry. Fold into eagle brand milk mixture. Pour into pan, sprinkle reserved crumbs on top. Freeze firm.
