If there's one dessert that says “summertime,” it's key lime pie – sweet yet tart and completely refreshing, it's a perfect way to top off a barbecue or to complement a glass of iced tea on a hot day. For this recipe look for key limes at the grocery store, which are smaller than regular limes. You can substitute with regular limes if key limes are not available.

Preparation time: 30-45 minutes.

Serves: 6

INGREDIENTS

1 Tenderflake frozen pie shell

1 (300 ml) can sweetened condensed milk

4 egg yolks, beaten

½ cup (125 ml) fresh lime juice (approx. 6 limes)

Whipped cream

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare the pie shell according to package directions for a baked pie shell. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

2. Lower oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).

3. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and lime juice in a medium bowl until well combined.

4. Pour lime filling into baked pie crust.

5. Place pie on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely at room temperature.

6. Serve with whipped cream.
