Ingredients
  

  • 200 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers crushed
  • 100 g unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 400 g condensed milk sweetened
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • Zest of 4 limes about 2 tbsp
  • Juice of 4 limes about 150ml, fresh
  • 200 ml double cream heavy cream
  • 150 ml double cream whipped
  • 1 lime sliced thin for garnish
  • A sprinkle of lime zest

Instructions
 

Make the Biscuit Crust

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Mix crushed biscuits, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press firmly into the pie dish base and sides. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool fully. This takes about 15 minutes total. Crunchy base ready!

Prepare the Lime Filling

  • In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale and thick. About 2 minutes with electric mixer. Add condensed milk slowly. Whisk until smooth. Stir in lime zest and juice. Mix well. It thickens fast from the acid. Creamy and tangy!

Whip in the Cream

  • Pour double cream into the mix. Whisk gently until combined and fluffy. Taste it—zesty heaven! Pour filling into cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Or overnight for best set.

Add the Topping

  • Whip 150ml cream to soft peaks. Spoon or pipe on chilled pie. Garnish with lime slices and zest. Slice and serve cold. Your Hairy Bikers Key Lime Pie is done! How to make Hairy Bikers Key Lime Pie feels like magic.

Notes

  • Use fresh limes for best zing. Bottled juice works in a pinch but tastes flat.
  • Chill crust before filling to avoid sogginess.
  • For gluten-free: Swap biscuits for gluten-free crackers.
  • Add a graham cracker boost: Mix in 50g crushed nuts to crust.
  • Vegan twist: Use coconut condensed milk and aquafaba instead of eggs.
  • Make mini pies: Use muffin tins for party bites.
  • Boost tang: Extra lime juice, but don't overdo or it curdles.
