Sweet Lime Pie with a Citrus Sea Salt Crust
Ingredients for crust:
2 cups (122 grams) whole vanilla wafers
5 (76 grams) graham crackers
6 tablespoons melted, unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons Stella's Table Citrus Sea Salt
Ingredients fo pie filling:
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
4 egg yokes
2 14-ounce cans condensed milk
Zest of 1 lime
Instructions:
For the crust:
Grind to a fine crumb the graham crackers and vanilla wafers using a food processor.
Add sugar and salt and pulse until combined.
Then add your butter and combine until the consistency is like wet sand.
Dump the crumb mixture directly into the pie dish. Using a dry measuring cup, press it into the pie plate, up the sides a little bit for a nice finish.
Bake the crust at 350-degrees for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on it because you don't want it to burn. When you smell the fragrance of the crust, it's done.
For the filling:
Separate the 4 eggs and add yokes to a mixing bowl. Beat the yokes until combined with a hand mixture.
Add the condensed milk into the egg mixture. Beat well to combine.
Zest the lime directly into the mixture and incorporate.
Add the lime juice and mix thoroughly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Pour the filling into the pie crust.
Put the pie in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes until it's set.
Let cool and refrigerate until set, at least one hour.
Top with whipped cream and serve.
