Quick and Easy Key Lime pie

This is an adapted recipe from "Our Best Bites" cookbook.  It was easy, light, and a refreshing summer treat.

4 large limes squeezed for a little over 1/2 cup juice.
5 egg yolks (save the egg whites for an omlet in the morning or something!)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
green food coloring
1 graham cracker crust (I used a store bought)
Whipped cream topping

Whip together egg yolks, lime juice, and condensed milk.  Stir in food coloring (we had neon food coloring which looked perfect) for desired "limey" look.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Pour filling into crust and bake for 15 minutes.  Allow to cool, best if cooled in refridgerator for a couple of hours.  Top with whipped cream.
