Key Lime Pie
Key Lime Pie is a bright, tangy-sweet dessert with a creamy filling and a buttery, crumbly crust. The balance of zesty lime and rich condensed milk creates a refreshing contrast, while the graham cracker base adds just the right amount of crunch. Worth making for its vibrant flavor and nostalgic appeal, this pie delivers a perfect harmony of tartness and indulgence in every bite. A chilled finish ensures a luscious texture that’s as satisfying to eat as it is to look at.

Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Whizz the biscuits to crumbs in a food processor (or put in a strong plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin). Mix with the 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 the egg yolks in a large bowl and whisk for a minute with electric beaters. Add the condensed milk and whisk for 3 minutes then add the zest and juice 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 the cream and icing sugar. Dollop or pipe the cream onto the top of the pie and finish with extra lime zest.
