Key Lime Pie

It was my brother-in-law's birthday and one of his favorite desserts is key lime pie so I decided to make it for him. This is a wonderful recipe and it's so easy to make. I cheated a little bit and bought a pre-made crust and I didn't use key limes. I have a lime tree in my backyard so I used those instead. My limes look yellow...and they are yellow, but they're not lemons, they're limes. Really! I'm almost afraid to list the recipe because it shows how easy it was to make. This recipe is from allrecipes.com and it received tons of rave reviews. It's no wonder-it's a fail proof recipe and when you use a star tip to pipe out the whipped cream, it's worthy of a few aahs.

2. In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind.
