Key Lime Pie
As a "Key Lime Pie", the cake is loved not only in Florida, but all over America. With just one piece, you cover a quarter of your daily requirement of vitamin A, which is known to be indispensable for good vision.
If you like it even more sour or want to save on sugar, take unsweetened condensed milk and sweeten the cream with agave syrup.

Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 6 ozs Whole Wheat Butter Cookies
- 4 ozs Cultured butter
- 5 eggs
- 1 ¾ cups sweetened condensed milk (9% fat)
- 5 Limes
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 ozs cane sugar
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
Preparation steps
Put butter cookies in a freezer bag and finely crumble with a meat mallet (or other heavy object).
Melt butter over low heat and mix with cookie crumbs. Press crumb mixture into bottom and partway up side of a greased pie dish (24 cm or approximately 10 inches in diameter). Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Separate eggs. Beat yolks and condensed milk with a hand mixer until fluffy and thick, about 7 minutes.
Rinse 3 limes in hot water, wipe dry and finely grate zest. Squeeze 125 ml (approximately 1/2 cup) juice from limes. Add juice and lime zest to egg yolk mixture and beat to combine.
Pour filling into crumb crust. Bake on lowest rack of preheated oven at 180°C (fan not recommended, gas: mark 2-3) until crust is golden brown and filling is set in the middle, about 25 minutes..
Meanwhile, beat 2 egg whites (reserve the rest for another use) and salt until stiff. Sprinkle in sugar gradually and continue to beat until shiny and stiff (meringue), 3-4 minutes. Beat in baking powder. Place meringue in a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
Remove pie from oven and pipe meringue decoratively on top. Bake on lowest rack of preheated oven at 250°C (fan not recommended, gas: highest mark) (approximately 475°F) until browned, 2-3 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
