Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3 1/2-ounce jar roasted macadamia nuts, rinsed, dried
1 cup fine vanilla wafer cookie crumbs (about 26 cookies)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
3 egg yolks
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1 cup chilled whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place nuts on cookie sheet and toast until golden brown, stirring several times and watching carefully, about 2 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool completely. Maintain oven temperature. Grind 1/2 cup macadamia nuts in processor. Transfer nuts to medium bowl. Add cookie crumbs, sugar and butter and mix. Press mixture into 9-inch pie pan. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool.
  • Place 2 tablespoons lime juice in small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over and let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and condensed milk in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Whisk in remaining 1/2 cup lime juice. Stir over medium heat 6 minutes to cook eggs (do not boil). Add softened gelatin and lime peel and stir until gelatin dissolves. Pour filling into prepared crust and refrigerate until filling is set, about 6 hours or overnight.
  • Spread whipped cream decoratively over pie. Chop remaining macadamia nuts and sprinkle over cream. Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes. Fresh key limes have a more intense flavor than bottled or frozen lime juice. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but you may need to add more lime zest to the filling.
  • Don't overbeat the filling. Overbeating the filling will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the pie before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Garnish the pie with whipped cream or lime zest. This will add a touch of elegance and make the pie even more delicious.

Conclusion:

This macadamia key lime pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, tangy key lime flavor, and crunchy macadamia nut crust, this pie is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
