Lime Pie |
|
Serves: 8 Print this Recipe(Pay de Limón) Category: Pastries and Pies Makes one 9-inch pie Pastries and other sweets are often eaten in late afternoon for marienda, a convivial time when people sit and enjoy pastries with coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. In the Zona Rosa of Mexico City, one of the main commercial districts in the city, I often take marienda at the Salon de Te, where I encountered a delicate lime pie very much like this one. To add color and elegance to the pie, sprinkle finely grated lime rind on the whipped cream, or add a few candied violets. CRUST 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafers crumbs 1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted FILLING 5 large eggs yolks, lightly beaten 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/2 cup fresh lime juice 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature 3 large egg whites 1/8 teaspoon salt Sifted confectioners' sugar, for dusting Sweetened Whipped Cream 1. Preheat the oven to 375°. In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the crumbs into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake 5 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven, and let cool. Leave the oven on. 2. Put the egg yolks, 1/2 cup of the sugar, cornstarch, lime juice, and butter in the top of a double boiler, and whisk thoroughly. Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth, about 10 minutes. Set aside and let the custard cool to lukewarm. 3. In a clean mixing bowl, with an electric beater or mixer, beat the egg whites with the salt to soft peaks. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar, continuing to beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently fold the lime custard into the egg whites, and spoon into the prepared pie shell. Level the surface. 4. Bake until filling is lightly browned and slightly raised, about 12 minutes. Transfer pie in the pan to a rack to cool completely. Refrigerate the pie about 8 hours, or overnight. 5. Remove the pie from the refrigerator shortly before serving, and dust with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges, and serve cold with whipped cream.
