Iconic Key Lime Pie - a taste of sweet American tradition.
Ingredients:
250g packet Granita biscuits
125g butter, melted
4egg yolks
395g can sweetened condensed milk
20.00 ml finely gratedlime rind (see note)
131.25 gm lime juice
2egg whites
Lime, thinly sliced, to serve
Whipped cream, to serve
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced and grease a 3cm-deep, 24cm round fluted flan tin with a loose base. In a food processor, blend the biscuits until fine, then add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press the mixture onto the base and sides of the tin. Set the tin on a baking tray and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool before using.
Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced. Beat egg yolks with an electric mixer until pale and thick. Gradually mix in condensed milk, lime rind, and lime juice. In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Delicately combine egg whites into yolk mixture in two parts. Transfer mixture into pie crust. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the filling is just set (it will have a slight wobble in the center). Allow to cool, then refrigerate for 2 hours. Garnish pie with sliced lime and enjoy with whipped cream.
