Biscuity lime pie recipe

Ingredients

  • 300g pack ginger nut biscuit
  • 100g butter, melted
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 50g golden caster sugar
  • zest and juice 4 lime, plus thin lime slices (optional) to serve
  • zest juice 1 lemon
  • 397g sweetened condensed milk

Method

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Tip the biscuits into a food processor and blitz to crumbs. Add the butter and pulse to combine. Tip the mix into a fluted rectangular tart tin, about 10 x 34cm (or 20cm round tin) and press into the base and up the sides right to the edge. Bake for 15 mins until crisp.

  • While the base is baking, tip the egg yolks, sugar, and lime and lemon zests into a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until doubled in volume. Pour in the condensed milk, beat until combined, then add the citrus juices.

  • Pour the mix into the tart case and bake for 20 mins until just set with a slight wobble in the centre. Leave to set completely, then remove from the tin, cool and chill. Serve in slices topped with thin lime slices, if you like.
