Divine Key Lime Pie 💚
I made this recipe with two coworkers who have never baked before. About the word 'Key' in the name, it comes from the Florida Keys where it's common to find small delicious juicy 'Key' limes.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Start here if you're making the crust yourself. For a store-bought crust, skip to step 9
* Step 2
Melt the butter and allow to cool.
* Step 3
In a large food processor or blender, combine the graham crackers, sea salt, and sugar.
* Step 4
Mix them up for around 30 seconds.
* Step 5
Add the butter and continue mixing it until it's uniform. If it looks really watery add another graham cracker or two.
* Step 6
For the pie, your pan should be ~20cm. If you have a pie pan or springform pan, then skip this step. Otherwise if you're using a cake pan, press aluminium foil inside to the edges. This will allow us to lift the pie out easier later.
* Step 7
Push your graham cracker mixture into the bottom and edge of the pan, and don't worry about getting your hands dirty :) Then put the crust in the fridge for 10 minutes. (Don't use cling-film on the top, or it will steam)
* Step 8
Take out of the fridge, and bake at 190C (~320F) for 15 minutes ^3^
* Step 9
Separate the eggs, and save the yolks. You can use the whites for something else later.
* Step 10
In your food processor/ blender blend the filling ingredients (condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice, lime zest), scraping the sides every 5 seconds or so. (Until it's smooth)
* Step 11
Wait for the crust to have cooled down from the oven, and then pour your filling on top of the crust.
* Step 12
Bake in the oven for 14 minutes at 160C (320F). When it's ready the filling will be a little jiggly, but not wet. Add a minute or two if necessary.
* Step 13
Remove from the oven, and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (cover with cling-film in the fridge this time).
* Step 14
At this point, it's ready to eat, but you can add the whipped cream topping as well for more deliciousness. (Recommended!)
* Step 15
Mix the icing sugar and the cream in a bowl, and beat for several minutes until the cream is firm, and holds its shape when you remove the beaters
* Step 16
Spread evenly over the top of the pie, and enjoy on a hot summer day 😊🥧
