KEY LIME PIE RECIPE
At Limetree Settlements we love everything Lime. In our blog you will find useful information about Buying Property in Perth, Selling Property in Perth and all of the ins and outs of property settlements. Plus, we will share tips on how to move with as much ease as possible.
Some of that stuff is a little bit dry though, so we think it might be more fun to share with you our love of limes and plenty of different ways you can incorporate limes into your life.
So if you love limes, then you have to try this key lime pie. It is pretty simple to make too.
INGREDIENTS
- 250g packet Granita biscuits
- 125g butter, melte
- 4 egg yolk
- 395g can sweetened condensed mil
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lime rind (see not
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 2 egg white
- Lime, thinly sliced and whipped cream, to serve
METHOD
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 3cm-deep, 24cm round (base) fluted, loose-based flan tin. Process biscuits until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add melted butter. Process until combined. Press mixture over base and side of prepared tin. Place tin on a baking tray. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Cool.
Reduce oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced. Using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until pale and thick. Gradually beat in condensed milk, lime rind and lime juice. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites, in two batches, into yolk mixture. Pour mixture into pie crust.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until filling has just set (filling will be slightly wobbly in the centre).
Cool. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Top pie with sliced lime and serve with whipped cream.
