There is an old story floating around Key lime pie! Some claim it was popularized by the Borden Company in the US during the 1930s, while others attribute it to a local woman known as Aunt Sally, who crafted the pie in the 1890s in the kitchen of William Curry, the first millionaire in the exotic Florida Keys islands. Regardless of its true origin, one thing is certain: Key lime pie is a delightful dessert that harmoniously blends the sweet flavor of its smooth and creamy filling with the zesty kick of fresh limes.

Instuctions

In a blender, combine the cookies, melted butter, egg yolk and cinnamon. Press the mixture into a 28 cm diameter tart pan, making sure it’s firmly packed.

Freeze the base for 1 hour, then bake it in a preheated oven at 160°C for approximately 15 minutes. Let the tart crust cool before using.

In a bowl, combine the condensed milk with the lime juice and the 4 egg yolks. Gently fold in the lime zest into the mixture.

Pour the cream filling into the tart and bake it in a preheated oven at 140°C for approximately 30 minutes.

Place the tart in the refrigerator and let it chill for 3 hours before serving.

For the meringue
Beat the egg white in a mixer, until it reaches a frothy consistency.

In a small saucepan, combine 50 ml of water with 310 grams of sugar and heat the mixture, until it reaches a temperature of 140°C.

Gradually pour the syrup into the mixer with the egg whites and beat it, until it cools down and forms into a meringue.

Before serving, fill a piping bag with the meringue and pipe it onto the tart in “tufts.”

Useful Tips

Hold a torch about 5-10 cm away from the surface of the meringue, moving it evenly and slowly across the top to lightly caramelize it. This will create a golden and crispy surface, that will enhance the enjoyment for your guests!
