Key Lime Pie Custard

Everyone needs a go-to dessert recipe to keep on hand for impromptu guests and last-minute cravings, and this simple 5-ingredient Key Lime Pie Custard is sure to be a hit! It comes together fast with just a few staples and one creative ingredient, Young Living’s Lime Vitality Essential Oil.

While this custard isn’t quite the same as a full-fledged key lime pie, it is BETTER and such a refreshing treat.

Best of all?

With just 5 ingredients, you’ll make these all summer long.

If you don’t have lime essential oil, you can substitute it for regular lime extract. Or, if you’re feeling extra creative, try making a homemade orange infused chocolate custard. Just add cocoa powder and Young Living’s Orange Vitality Essential Oil instead of lime extract.

Here is what you need:

2 large eggs

2 cups milk ( I used 2%)

1/2 cup sugar

2 TBSP corn starch

1/2 tsp Young Living Lime Vitality EO

Step 1: Add the 1 1/2  cups of milk to a medium size sauce pan.

Step 2: Then add the sugar to the pot and mix.

Step 3: In a large measuring cup add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk, the corn starch and Lime  Mix really well until the corn starch is dissolved and there are no lumps. Then add in the eggs and the Young Living Lime Vitality EO. Mix again until combined.

Step 4: Turn stove on to medium heat and start stirring in your corn starch slurry.

Step 5: Continue to mix until mixture comes to a boil.

Step 6: Then pour into your mason jars or glass bowls. We garnished our custard with whipped topping and crushed graham cracker crumbs for a truly Key Lime pie feel. Serve warm or keep in the fridge for a week.
