(Experiment 62)Key lime pie

Ingredients

  • 460 g sweetened condensed milk about 1.5 cans
  • 2 lime zest
  • 130 ml lime juice
  • dash salt
  • 250 g graham cracker
  • 80 g melted butter
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 4 egg yolks

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
  • Add the lime juice, zest and condensed milk. Cover with plastic film and reserve
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F
  • Put the graham cracker in a food processor and blend until its small crumble, don’t make flour
  • Add the brown sugar & salt and give it a pulse to mix
  • Dump into a mixing bowl, add the butter and combine
  • Press the graham mix into your pie tin, and use a glass to flatten the bottom.
  • Put in the oven and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the tin from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes or so
  • Once the crust is cooled, pour the filling in and bake it at 350 for about 15 minutes. It needs to be set but jiggly. A tip I have been told is when you see tiny small holes appear on the surface it’s done.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and let it cool for 20-30 minutes then transfer to the refrigerator for at least an hour ( ideally 2 )before cutting
  • Decorate with whipped cream, lime wedges or whatever you fancy
