Provided by Ashley Manila

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon lime zest
3/4 cup fresh lime or key lime juice (I have included a link to the key lime juice I use inside the post)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Fit a medium sized bowl with a fine mesh sieve; set aside.
  • Combine the lime zest, lime juice, sugar, and eggs in medium saucepan. Add butter and bring mixture to a very controlled simmer - stirring almost constantly - over medium-low heat. Once the mixture has thickened - it should be able to coat the back of a metal spoon - remove from heat and pour through the sieve. Place bowl in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Once the pudding has chilled, whip the cream and confectioners sugar together in a stand mixer until stiff peaks begin to form. Fold the cream into the cooled pudding, stirring until completely combined.
  • Eat at once or refrigerate until needed. Pudding will last up to 48 hours.

"This make-ahead recipe was given to me by an aunt many years ago," writes Joyce Key. "Her recipe called for lemon gelatin, but we like this dessert with more of a bite to it, so we use lime instead. The light fluffy squares are especially great in summer," assures the Snellville, Georgia cook.

Tips:

  • For a smoother texture, use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the lime curd before pouring it into the pie crust.
  • If you don't have time to make your own lime curd, you can use store-bought curd instead.
  • To make the whipped cream topping, be sure to use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat. This will ensure that the whipped cream is stiff and holds its shape.
  • If you want a more citrusy flavor, you can add a tablespoon of grated lime zest to the whipped cream.
  • For a fancier presentation, you can pipe the whipped cream onto the pie using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
