Ingredients
Crust
- 200 g package Leibniz Butterkeks Vollkorn
(or 1 paper-wrapped package graham crackers (1/3 of a 1 pound box) or 1 cup plus 2 1/2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs) - 5 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 70g
- 1/3 cup sugar
Filling
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 limes, zest grated (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
- 1 (14-ounce, 414ml) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (if you get Key limes , use them: otherwise use regular limes)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 175, butter a 9-inch pie pan
- Break up the graham crackers: place in a food processor and process to crumbs. (If you dont have a food processor , place the crackers in a large plastic bag: seal and then crush the crackers with a rolling pin .)
- Add the melted butter and sugar and pulse or stir until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan, forming a neat border around the edge.
- Bake the crust until set and golden, 8 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
- Meanwhile, in a electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and lime zest at a high speed until very fluffy, abut 5 minutes.
- Gradually add the condensed milk and continue to beat until thick, 3 or 4 minutes longer.
- Lower the mixer speed and slowly add the lime juice, mixing just until combined, no longer. Pour mixture into the pie crust
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the filling has set.
- Cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
