Skill required: If you can read, you can make this.
1-3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1-1/2 tablespoons cocoa
6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
4 limes
1 14-ounce can (@ 1-1/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk
1-1/4 cups heavy cream, 3/4 cup more, if desired, for decorating
1 one-ounce square bittersweet chocolate
1. In a mixing bowl, combine cracker crumbs, cocoa and butter.
2. Press into a 9-inch springform pan, covering bottom and pushing crumbs about 3/4-inch up side of pan. (If you don't have a springform pan... it's about time you bought one.)
3. Refrigerate until needed.
4. Finely grate 2 tablespoons zest from limes and set aside. (Zest = grated rind)
5. Squeeze juice from limes (about 3/4 cup) and set aside.
6. In a mixing bowl, combine condensed milk, 1-1/4 cups heavy cream and lime zest and juice.
7. Spoon into chilled crust, leaving a border visible around edge and smoothing top. Chill for at least two hours or overnight.
8. To serve, remove side of springform pan. Whisk remaining 3/4 cup, cream until thick.
9. Pipe rosettes of cream around edge of pie to create a border. (If you don't know how to do this, drop dollops of cream around the edge; the taste is the same.)
10.Grate a light dusting of chocolate on top. (A heavy dusting is good, too.)
11.Serve immediately; pie will soften it left at room temperature.
Yields: 6 -8 servings.
Substitutions:
- Ready-made graham cracker pie crust is okay for your neighbors but home-made is so-o-o much better.
- For those who think a calorie saved means you can eat more... there is fat-free condensed milk available in grocery stores.
