COOL WHIP KEY LIME PIE RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 175ºC/gas 3. Lightly grease a 22cm metal or glass pie dish with a little of the butter.
  2. For the pie crust, blend the biscuits, sugar and remaining butter in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Transfer to the pie dish and spread over the bottom and up the sides, firmly pressing down.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and place the dish on a wire rack to cool.
  5. For the filling, whisk the egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the condensed milk until smooth.
  6. Mix in 6 tablespoons of lime juice, then pour the filling into the pie crust and level over with the back of a spoon.
  7. Return to the oven for 15 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool.
  8. Once cooled, refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
  9. To serve, whip the cream until it just holds stiff peaks. Add dollops of cream to the top of the pie, and grate over some lime zest, for extra zing if you like.

Steps:

• For the graham cracker crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Break up the graham crackers; place in a food processor and process to crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place the crackers in a large plastic bag; seal and then crush the crackers with a rolling pin. Add the melted butter and sugar and pulse or stir until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and side of a pie pan, forming a neat border around the edge. Bake the crust until set and golden, 8 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack; leave the oven on.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, in an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and lime zest at high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to beat until thick, 3 or 4 minutes longer. Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice, mixing just until combined, no longer. Pour the mixture into the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the filling has just set. Cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
• For the topping: Whip the cream and the confectioners' sugar until nearly stiff. Cut the pie into wedges and serve very cold, topping each wedge with a large dollop of whipped cream.
