\\Steep Time: 2 weeks (3 is better) \\Mixed At: 70vg/30pg \\Note: This uses CAP NY Cheesecake V1 and FW Graham Cracker Update - Dropping CCI and a slight bump to NY Cheesecake really makes this recipe soar. Give it a new mix!
This is my key lime pie, there are many like it, but this one is mine. As I said on Reddit the other day (u/BlameReligion) I figured I should make this public, 1. I posted it on Reddit anyway and 2. This is probably as far as I'm going to get with it. This hits all the right spots for me and after investing a few months in batches I think this is as far as I'll go.
The Key Lime: As much as I want to flavor test 5 more key lime flavors (I did quite a few) FA's Florida Key Lime does the trick. Anything higher than 1.5% you get that syrupy note that u/ConcreteRiver talks about, go any lower and the pie filling base takes over.
My Pie Filling: The amalgamation of creams you see in here are what I've really been tweaking the most to try and get a dense and creamy key lime pie, with that whipped/meringue type finish, and this combination does a pretty damn good job. You could argue that it's more of a key lime cheesecake but having had a few key lime pie's in my day, the density and richness that CAP NY Cheesecake/LA Cream Cheese icing brings to the table make it absolutely perfect for what I want out of a Key Lime Pie. Combined with TPA Whipped Cream and FA Meringue, it makes for a symphony of pie filling on your tongue.
Dat Crust: The crust was kind of a tough one too, I don't know why I hate doing flavors in 1/3's % but it always irks me, and gets to me even more when it actually works the way I need it to for the profile. The combination of TFA Cheesecake Craham Crust and FW Graham cracker help give that granular graham cracker crust with just a hint of cinnamon that I have really been enjoying.
I'd say let it sit for at least 2 weeks, but if you're patient the longer you wait the better it gets. When you happened to have mixed it, I'd appreciate any feedback. this one I've put my heart into.
