Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Tip the biscuits into a food processor and blitz to crumbs. Add the butter and pulse to combine. Tip the mix into a fluted rectangular tart tin, about 10 x 34cm (or 20cm round tin) and press into the base and up the sides right to the edge. Bake for 15 mins until crisp.

  • step 2

    While the base is baking, tip the egg yolks, sugar, and lime and lemon zests into a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until doubled in volume. Pour in the condensed milk, beat until combined, then add the citrus juices.

  • step 3

    Pour the mix into the tart case and bake for 20 mins until just set with a slight wobble in the centre. Leave to set completely, then remove from the tin, cool and chill. Serve in slices topped with thin lime slices, if you like.

Will this freeze

question

Has anybody tried this with whole eggs? I really dislike using only egg yolks/whites. Such a waste. Thank you

You can freeze the egg whites and use them to make meringues or however else you need them. There is no waste.

Made this last weekend and very pleased - followed the recipe as it was - very nice!

I noted the comments about the hard base so baked the base initially for 10 mins, rather than the suggested 15. I'm not a big fan of ginger biscuits, but the base worked well with the lime. I used 4 small limes which weren't overly juicy,and I found the lime flavour more subtle than I expected so…

I made this with gluten free stem ginger cookies and the result was neither too hard nor too greasy. Overall I would definitely do this again - although I would probably make it with less sugar.
