Key lime pie recipe.


Me and Bern are key lime pie lovers! So last night I thought I'd give it a go myself and found it actually really easy! I had a good look online for a recipe that wasn't too complicated. There are a lot of recipes that involve cooking the pie but I found one on the carnation website that doesn't involve cooking at all, only chilling in the fridge!

So you'll need:
A decent sized greased pie dish or baking tin
Juice and zest of 5 limes
250g digestives
150g butter, melted
300ml carton double cream
405g tin of light carnation condensed milk

First bash your digestives into smithereens with the end of a rolling pin. Use a food processor if you've got one it's probably a lot quicker! When the biscuits are all nice and crumbly stir in the melted butter. Next, press the biscuit into the base and up the sides of your tin and put it in the fridge.

In a big bowl whisk your double cream and light condensed milk together. It'll be a bit watery still at this point. Next, add the juice and zest of your lines and whisk again. The mixture will now thicken!

Take your biscuit base out the fridge and pour your cream mixture onto it and return to the fridge for a good few hours or overnight if you can.

Finally, dig in! Thanks Carnation you've made making this pie so much easier! I've finally tucked in now Scarlett's having a nap. If you look closely you can see her asleep in the background!

Take care
