Method
-
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the crushed biscuits. Lightly press this mixture into the base of a deep 23cm/9in loose-bottomed fluted flan tin. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
-
To prepare the filling, place the lime juice into a large bowl, then add the cream and condensed milk. Whisk for 1–2 minutes. Add the lime zest and lightly stir. Pour onto the prepared biscuit base. Place onto a tray and chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours.
-
When ready to serve, remove the key lime pie from the tin then decorate with crystallised lime zest and fresh lime slices, if using.
