Hello and welcome to Todd's kitchen. I have done many pie recipes of the last year or so but
there's one recipe that people just keep on requesting. So join me today as i
make my version of a key lime pie.
So to start of this key lime recipe we are going to start with the base.
In a food processor i have just processed our digestive biscuits and you can use
any type of biscuits you like it really doesn't matter that much. If you don't have
a food processor what you do is place them in a zip lock bag and bash them silly with a rolling pin.
Into our biscuit mixer pour in our sugar.
and then our melted butter.
and give it a good mix through until its well combined.
Next i have a standard size spring form pan
and give it a quick grease
and place our cookie mixure
right in
and using the back of a spoon we are just going to
move it out to the edges
and lift it up just so its
slightly up on the edges just like that
Once our base is done we are going to place this into a pre heated oven at
a one hundred and eighty five degrees celsius for ten minutes
Now we are going to get started on the filling for our key lime pie
So into a mixing bowl we are going to pour in our egg yolks
Then we are going to mix it around for about thirty seconds. Next slowly pour in one can of sweetened condensed milk.
Now that it has been mixed through we are going to add in six tablespoons of
key lime juice
If you can't find key limes its acceptable to use normal limes
but because the flavour is not as intense i recommend you use the zest of
one lime. I'll add that in as well.
Because i can't buy key limes from where I'm from.
and quickly mix that through
So i have our base and what i have done is take it out of the oven and let it cool down for ten minutes.
So now just pour our mixture
onto the base.
So now we are going to return this to the hot oven at one hundred and eighty five degrees Celsius oven
and we are going to let it cook for fifteen minutes. Now after that fifteen minutes
take it out of the oven and let it cool down for six hours in the fridge.
And in six hours it will be completely set and ready to serve.
I have taken it out of the fridge and dressed it up with some
thin slices of lime.
Which not only makes it look allot better
it also adds a little bit of flavour to.
now this would definitely be one of the simplest
pie recipes i have ever had to make.
But enough of that lets give this a try.
now that
is fantastic
I don't know what it is but theres something about the distinct taste of lime that really sets this off.
You don't have that strong after taste like you would with a lemon or you don't have a dull
taste like you do with an orange
The taste of this is in between and it works
beautiful. So even though this pie was incredibly simple
to make
it tastes simply delicious.
So give it a go for your next party or get together because your guests will love it
