Instructions

Step 1:

Start by preparing the crust. Preheat your oven to 350F, then add the biscuits or graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until it forms into crumbs, then transfer to a bowl. Add the sugar and melted butter and stir until well combined.

Step 2:

Add the mixture onto an 8-9 inch pie pan and press onto the bottom and sides.

Step 3:

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, then let it cool on a rack for 15 minutes.

Step 4:

Make the filling. Add egg yolks and lime zest into a large bowl, and whisk until creamy and light yellow. Add the condensed milk and lime juice then stir until well combined.

Step 5:

Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and place back in the oven. Bake it for 15 minutes. Once done baking, let the pie cool completely at room temperature and then refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.

Step 6:

Before serving the pie, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag with 1M start tip and decorate your pie. You can sprinkle lime zest on top if preferred. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
