My friends John and Jackie introduced me to this delicious pie. John comes from Florida and worked several years in New Jersey. It’s there that Cheryl and I visited them. It was during one of those visits that John prepared an excellent dinner topped with this pie. Just delicious.
Ingredients:
- One can of condensed milk (400 ml)
- 15 ml lime zest, chopped
- 125 ml lime juice
- 2 ml salt
- 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
- One baked pie crust
- 2 egg whites
- 30 ml sugar
Method:
- Preheat oven to 3500 F
- Mix the condensed milk with the lime zest, the lime juice, egg yolks and salt until it thickens because of the chemical reactions between the juice and the milk
- Pour in a baked crust
- In a bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar into firm peaks
- Transfer the egg whites over top of the pie and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the meringue is brown
