VERY EASY KEY LIME PIE RECIPE

200g digestive biscuits (about half a packet) If you want somthing different use choc chip cookies
75g butter
4 egg yolks
1 tin condensed milk (I think they are 405g)
4 limes

Crush the biscuits. I find the easiest way to do this is in a zip lock bag and roll over them with a bottle of wine!
Melt the butter and add the biscuit crumbs.
Press the mixture into a flan dish. I tend to use one thats a bit deeper so that I can push the crumbs up the side as well as across the bottom.
Put it in the fridge.

As you know its not easy to get real key limes so one trick I have learnt to get a very similar flavour with ordinary limes is to remove the zest from one of them and chop very small. Now juice all four limes and put it all in a mixing bowl.
Add the condensed milk.
Add the egg yolks.
Give it a good whip together and then taste. Add more lime juice if necessary. Tesco now sell bottles of lime juice really cheaply which are a good standby.
Bake for 15 minutes at 160c

Originally Key Lime Pies were not cooked but the view now is that as it contains raw egg you should cook for a short time.
