This traditional American dessert is sweet and zesty - yum!

Ingredients (8)

  • 250g digestive or wheatmeal biscuits, crushed
  • 60g unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 400g can NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 150ml (about 4-5 limes) lime juice
  • 3 limes, rind grated, plus extra pieces, to garnish
  • 3 egg whites (see note)
  • Fresh cream, to serve

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a 23cm loose-bottomed tart pan.
  • 2.
    Combine the crushed biscuit and melted butter in a bowl, then press onto the base and sides of the greased pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes while you make the filling.
  • 3.
    Beat the egg yolks with a whisk until thick, then slowly stir in the condensed milk. Add the lime juice and rind, whisking well to combine.
  • 4.
    Use a clean whisk to whip the egg whites until stiff then fold in the lime mixture. Pour into the tart pan then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. (The filling will still have a slight wobble but will firm on cooling.) Set aside to cool, then refrigerate.
  • 5.
    To serve, garnish with rind and cream.
