Classic American sweet and tangy dessert - delicious!
Ingredients:
- 250g digestive or wheatmeal biscuits, crushed
- 60g unsalted butter, melted
- 5 egg yolks
- 400g can sweetened condensed milk
- 150ml (about 4-5 limes) lime juice
- 3 limes, rind grated, plus extra pieces, to garnish
- 3 egg whites (see note)
- Fresh cream, to serve
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 160°C and generously grease a 23cm loose-bottomed tart pan.
- Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until combined, then press into the greased pan's base and sides. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
- Whisk the egg yolks until thick, then gently mix in the condensed milk. Stir in the lime juice and rind, combining thoroughly.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then gently fold in the lime mixture. Pour the mixture into the tart pan and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. (The filling should still have a slight wobble but will set as it cools.) Let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate.
- Garnish with zest and dollop of cream before serving.
