Recipe – Key Lime Pie

After obtaining an obscene amount of biscuits on the cheap, I started thinking what recipe could I use some of them up in?  Not sure why, but Key Lime Pie was the first thing I thought of… I started Googling different recipes and came across this simple recipe on the Carnation website…

Serves 10

Ingredients:

• 250g digestive biscuits
• 100g butter, melted
• 405g can Carnation Condensed Milk Light
• finely grated zest and juice of 5 large limes
• 300ml carton double cream

23cm (9in) round loose-bottomed tart tin.

1. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter in a bowl.

2. Press the crumbs into the base and up the sides of the tin. Chill for 10 minutes.

3. Whisk together the condensed milk and cream, then add the lime juice. Pour into the tart case and chill or at least 1-2 hours.

I’ll admit I was surprised that the base held together, in the past when I’ve done biscuit bases, they’ve always crumbled…This was perfect!
