Nautico's Key Lime Pie
Made from fresh key lime juice.
"I also altered to regular limes and lime juice, plus I'm British so had no idea what a Graham's cracker is so substituted for Hobnobs! (oaty crumbly biscuits). The crust was lovely and countered the sharp lime flavour- though it didn't stick together very well, that may have been the biscuits or a failing on my part. The lime flavour was extremely intense and after 3 slices I have a slight sore throat. Maybe I shouldn't have had 3 slices.....Will def make again to try and perfect." - JennKayYield: 8 Ready in 45 minutes

I haven't cut into it yet but it seems to have set well and that was what I was most concerned about.

Did this for the group that meets in my home. What a hit. Added extra lime juice

Easy to follow recipe but I had to alter it since I wasn't able to find key lime juice or Parisian limes. Instead I used regular lime and juice as well as squeezing the limes I seated. However it was still too sweet for my liking so I added more lime juice.

(I didn't have fresh key lime juice so I used half lime juice and half lemon juice- worked great!)

Needs just a tad bit of corn starch to thicken, but a simple and delicious recipe!

Perfect key lime pie. Got a lot of compliments.
This would have been 5 stars if the recipe had a more specific measure of lime zest. Limes vary in size and I only added one limes worth of zest and the the flavor was overwhelming. Otherwise very tasty and perfect consistency. Will make again! Thank you. |
