Key Lime Pie
Strictly speaking you need Key Limes to make Key Lime Pie, but ordinary limes work just as well. Some versions cover the pie with meringue, but I like this version drizzled with chocolate…

Instructions
- Prepare the pie base: Crush the biscuits thoroughly in a bag and pour into a bowl. Melt the butter and mix well with the biscuit crumbs.
- Pour the mixture into into a flan dish and press to make a firm, even base.
- Beat the egg yolks for about a minute. Add in the condensed milk and beat well for 3-4 minutes. Add in the lime juice and zest and mix well.
- Pour the mixture onto the pie base and cook in an oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes until the centre of the pie is firm but springy to the touch.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few hours before chilling in the ‘fridge.
- For a chocolate drizzle, melt the chocolate in a bowl in a pan of boiling water.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the corner of a small pastic bag. Snip the corner with scissors and drizzle the chocky all over the pie!
- If using whipping cream, beat the cream until firm. Decorate the pie with cream and serve.
Titli's Tips
Don’t use bottled lime juice or lime cordial for this pie – it will taste disgusting!
