THE PIE FILLING:

6 egg yolks
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk, about 1 1/4 c.

2. Combine the crumbs, sugar, almonds and butter in a bowl. Blend well.

5. Beat the yolks in a mixing bowl. Pour in the condensed milk, stirring constantly. Add the lime juice and rind.

6. Pour the mixture into the crumb crust. Place the pie in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool. Top with sweetened whipped cream. Yields: 6-8 servings.
