Colombia: Key Lime Pie

The Dish: Creamy deliciousness.
The Country: Declared independence from Spain on July 20, 1810

Ingredients:
6 honey graham crackers
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 cup water
2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
juice of 3 limes

THE PIE
Procedure:
Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°
Use food processor to puree the crackers and brown sugar
Add butter and mix well
Place into a pie pan
Bake for 10 minutes

a gooey slice of yummy-ness


Filling:
Pour water into pot, add gelatin.  Let sit or 8 minutes. Then, stir over very low heat until the gelatin dissolves.
Pour this, and the rest of the ingredients, into a blender. Blend until smooth. 
Pour this mixture into the pie crust.
Cool in the refrigerator for 5 hours.


Notes:
This is the best crust ever. I'm going to have to use it for every pie or cheesecake I make.  The texture of the pie is odd, but I really liked it.  It kind of looks like tofu, but it tastes like lime-y goodness.
