Key ingredient in key lime pie (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yolk

(Other definitions for yolk that I've seen before include "Yellow (as opposed to white?)" , "something attractive to soldiers?" , "Soldiers go in here" , "Food kept by white" , "Yellow part of an egg" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
