    This is similar to key lime pie. No baking required.

    LIME DELIGHT

    INGREDIENTS
    Base:
    4oz digestives, crushed
    2oz butter

    Filling:
    10fl oz double cream
    Small tin condensed milk
    3 limes – juice and zest
    Slices of Kiwi fruit for decoration - optional

    METHOD
    Melt butter and stir in digestives. Press into a 7” round tin, lined with cling film. Leave in the fridge to chill.

    Whip the cream, then add the condensed milk, lime juice and zest. Mix well.
    Fill the digestive base then return to the fridge to chill.
    Decorate with Kiwi fruit slices just before serving.

    ive merged this with the lime thread so you can read back and see how others use their limes

    LImes also come in handy if you slice and freeze the slices :) Instant zingy ice cube for your cold drink (or vodka!) ;)
