RECIPE FOR KEYLIME PIE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl. Press into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure the sides and the bottom are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• For the filling, beat the egg yolks and sugar on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for 5 minutes, until thick. With the mixer on medium speed, add the condensed milk, lime zest, and lime juice. Pour into the baked pie shell and freeze.
• For the decoration, beat the heavy cream on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until firm. Spoon or pipe decoratively onto the pie and decorate with lime. Freeze for several hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. In a large mixing bowl, mix 250g crushed digestive biscuits with 125g melted butter.
• Put the biscuit mixture into a 23cm loose bottomed tart tin. Press into the base and up the sides of the tin. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, zest 4 limes into a small bowl. Roll each zested lime on a flat surface to help release as much juice as possible, then cut each one in half and juice, adding the juice to the bowl with the zest.
• Put 1 x 397g tin condensed milk into a bowl and add 4 large egg yolks (don’t throw away the egg whites – you can use them to make cute rainbow meringues). Using an electric whisk, beat together for 1 minute. Add the lime zest and juice and beat for a further minute.
• Pour into the cooked tart tin and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes. Remove and leave to cool. Once it has cooled, chill in the fridge to set completely. This should only take 20 minutes but you can leave it overnight.
• In a bowl, whip 200ml double cream with 2 tbsp icing sugar to soft peaks. Dollop the cream over the key lime pie. Sprinkle over a little more lime zest to serve.
