Easy Key Lime Pie

Easy Key Lime Pie delivers reliable flavour and texture with a method that is straightforward to follow at home. The recipe is designed to plate up cleanly and look appealing, so the finished dessert feels as good visually as it tastes.

Serve with a simple garnish that suits the bake — for example fruit, cream, or a light dusting/ drizzle where appropriate — and adjust sweetness or spice to preference. It also works well as a make-ahead option for gatherings.

  1. Heat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan). Line the base of a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin.
  2. Mix crushed digestives with melted butter, press firmly into the base and sides, then chill for 10 minutes.
  3. Whisk condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice and lime zest until smooth.
  4. Pour the filling into the chilled base and bake for 12–15 minutes until just set with a slight wobble.
  5. Cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 4 hours.
  6. Serve with softly whipped cream and extra lime zest if you like.

Ingredients

  • 120ml Lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 200ml Double cream for serving (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Icing Sugar for whipped cream (optional)
  • 100g Unsalted butter melted
  • 4 Egg Yolks large
  • 397g Condensed Milk 1 tin
  • 2 tsp Lime Zest finely grated
  • 250g Digestive biscuits crushed

Notes

Chill for at least 4 hours so the filling sets firmly before slicing.

Use fresh lime juice for the best flavour and zest right before serving.
