Ingredients

CRUST
16 - graham crackers, crushed
3 tablespoon(s) granulated sugar
1/4 pound(s) unsalted butter
PIE FILLING
4 large egg yolks
14 ounce(s) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup(s) fresh key lime juice (approximately 12 key limes)
2 teaspoon(s) lime peel, grated, green portion only
WHIPPING CREAM FOR GARNISH (OPTIONAL)
1/2 cup(s) heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoon(s) granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon(s) Madagascar pure vanilla extract

Steps:

CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the ingredients together and press them into a 9-inch pie plate (glass or pre-formed tin is your option). Bake in oven in middle rack for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven, and cool on a rack. Note: Do not turn off the oven, as you will be baking the next portion of the pie momentarily.
PIE FILLING: In a stand mixer with the whipping attachment, beat the egg yolks on medium speed until they are thick and turn yellow, DO NOT OVERMIX!
Turn the mixer off and add the sweetened condensed milk, and turn the mixer speed to low. Drizzle 1/2 of the lime juice. Once the lime juice is incorporated, add the other half of the juice and the zest, continue to mix until melted (just a few seconds).
Pour the mixture into the pie shell.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes to set the yolks. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for approximately 2 hours to set.
WHIPPING CREAM: In a stainless steel medium bowl, combine whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla and whisk by hand until creamy peaks form.
SERVING: Take the pie out of the refrigerator and slice pie in 8ths. Plate pie and add a dollop of whip cream! Try it also with some toasted coconut too!

Ingredients

300g Hob Nobs
150g butter, melted
1 x 397g can condensed milk (we used Nestlé)
3 medium egg yolks
finely grated zest and juice of 4 limes
300ml double cream
1 tbsp icing sugar
extra lime zest, to decorate

Steps:

Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3.
Whizz 300g Hob Nobs to crumbs in a food processor (or put in a strong plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin).
Mix with 150g melted butter and press into the base and up the sides of a 22cm loose-based tart tin. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.
Put 3 medium egg yolks in a large bowl and whisk for a minute with electric beaters.
Add a can of condensed milk and whisk for 3 minutes, then add the finely grated zest and juice of 4 limes and whisk again for 3 minutes.
Pour the filling into the cooled base then put back in the oven for 15 minutes. Cool then chill for at least 3 hours or overnight if you like. When you are ready to serve, carefully remove the pie from the tin and put on a serving plate.
To decorate, softly whip together 300ml double cream and 1 tbsp icing sugar.
Dollop or pipe the cream onto the top of the pie and finish with extra lime zest.
