This tangy, sweet pie is sure to tickle the tastebuds of anyone who loves the crisp, tart flavor of fresh lime and berries. Made in a sweet vanilla crust, it’s the perfect end to a light, fresh meal. It’s best to start this pie at least 12 hours before you wish to serve it. Garnish with whipped cream, strawberry slices, or fresh twists of lime.
Ingredients
- 3 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup fresh Key lime juice
- 6 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Key lime zest
- 2 stalks fresh rhubarb, diced
- 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup water
- 2 teaspoons powdered fruit pectin
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Mix together the vanilla wafer crumbs and butter in a bowl until thoroughly combined, and press the crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch pie dish.
Step 3
Beat the sweetened condensed milk, Key lime juice, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and Key lime zest in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; pour the filling into the prepared cookie crust.
Step 4
Bake the pie in the preheated oven until center of pie is slightly jiggly, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate.
Step 5
Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, water, and pectin in a saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Stirring often, boil until the rhubarb and berries break down and the glaze begins to thicken and resemble jam, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cool to lukewarm. Glaze will thicken as it cools. Spread the glaze over the pie, and refrigerate until chilled. For best texture, allow pie to chill at least 8 hours before serving.
Cook’s Notes
For an even easier preparation, you can use bottled Key lime juice, instead of squeezing it fresh. You can also simply warm a jar of strawberry-rhubarb jam in the microwave and spread that over the finished pie if you don't want to make your own glaze, or if fresh fruit is unavailable.
