CRANBERRY-LIME PIE
The spirit of a Key lime pie in the guise of a luscious cranberry curd. The contrast between the snappy press-in crust and the tart filling in this recipe is pure genius.

Steps:
- Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Pulse cookies in a food processor until very finely ground (you should have about 1 cup). Add pecans; pulse until finely ground. Add butter and brown sugar; pulse to combine. Transfer to a deep 9" pie dish. Using a measuring cup, press firmly onto bottom and up sides of dish. Bake until firm and slightly darkened in color, 10-15 minutes. If crust slides down sides, gently press back up. Let cool.
- Filling and assembly:
- Bring 12 oz. cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Reduce heat; simmer until cranberries burst and most of the liquid evaporates, 12-15 minutes. Let cool. Purée in a blender until very smooth.
- Cook purée, eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest, lime juice, salt, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 tsp. lime zest in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring with a rubber spatula and scraping down sides of bowl often, until curd thickens and coats spatula, 8-10 minutes. Let cool until just warm.
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat curd, adding butter a piece at a time and incorporating after each addition, until curd looks lighter in color and texture, about 5 minutes. Scrape into crust and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
- Bring 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add remaining 4 oz. cranberries and cook until barely starting to soften, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Chill until no longer sticky, 20-30 minutes.
- Toss remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp. lime zest in a small bowl. Toss cranberries in lime sugar. Top pie with cranberries; serve with whipped cream.
- Do Ahead
- Crust can be baked 1 day ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature. Pie (without topping) can be made 2 days ahead. Cover once filling is firm and keep chilled. Let sit at room temperature 2 hours before serving.
Tips:
- Choose ripe cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and deep red in color. Avoid any cranberries that are soft, bruised, or have mold.
- Make sure your limes are fresh: Fresh limes will have a bright green color and a firm texture. Avoid any limes that are yellow or have soft spots.
- Use sparkling water that you enjoy: The sparkling water you use will make up the majority of the drink, so make sure you choose one that you like the taste of.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking: The amount of simple syrup you add to the drink is up to you. If you like your drinks tart, add less simple syrup. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup.
- Garnish with fresh cranberries and lime slices: This will add a festive touch to your drink and make it even more refreshing.
Conclusion:
The Cranberry Lime Ricky is a delicious, refreshing, and festive drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy, give the Cranberry Lime Ricky a try!
