Are you welcoming a new bundle of joy into the world?  Serve up this scrumptious dessert to your guests at the baby shower!  I love that this Lime and Sour Cream Pie can be prepared ahead of time and served right from the refrigerator.  Decorate the table with cute and whimsical fabric or get really creative and use a binky as a napkin ring!

LIME AND SOUR CREAM PIE

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3 Tablespoons cornstarch

2-1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel

1/3 cup fresh lime juice

1 cup half-and-half

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup sour cream

1 baked 9-inch pie shell

1 cup whipping cream

2 Tablespoons granulated sugar

1. Combine 3/4 cup sugar with cornstarch and lime peel in a medium saucepan; mix well.  Add lime juice and stir until smooth.  Blend in half-and-half and butter.  Place over medium heat and stir until mixture thickens and starts to boil, about 10 minutes.  Remove from heat and let cool, stirring occasionally. Fold in sour cream.  Turn mixture into baked pie shell.

2.  Combine whipping cream and 2 Tablespoons sugar in bowl of electric mixer.  Whip until soft peaks form.  Spread atop pie and refrigerate until ready to serve.  Pie can be made ahead and kept refrigerated.  Makes 8 servings.
