Serves: 1 whole 14″ tart and 2 mini-individual cups.

Ingredients for the Graham cracker crust:

• 170g Graham Cracker Crumbs
• 1/2 cup Sliced and Toasted Almonds
• 100g (1/2 cup) of Melted Butter
• 2 tablespoons of Sugar
• 1/2 cup of All-Purpose Flour
• Salt to taste
• Cinnamon to taste

Ingredients for the Key Lime Cream:

• 57g Egg Yolks
• 1 can (400g) of Condensed Milk
• 185 ml of Lemon Juice (half fresh, half concentrated)

Preparation

Mix everything with a rubber spatula.

Prepare the Crust:

• In a mixing bowl, begin by combining graham cracker crumbs, toasted almond slices, sugar, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt.
• Gradually drizzle the melted butter while stirring until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Then, press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 14-inch tart pan. 
• Finally, bake the crust at 350°F (180°C) for about 10 minutes or until it is slightly toasted and firm.

Prepare the Key Lime Cream:

• Mix egg yolks, condensed milk, and key lime juice in a separate bowl using a rubber spatula until well combined. Bake everything at 300°F until the cream sets.

Serving tips: 

• It combines sweet and sour flavors perfectly with a smooth key lime cream and crispy crust. Add a layer of raspberry curd to make your dessert even more delicious. 
• If you find it difficult to remove the pie from the pan, gently heat the bottom with a torch to help release it.

For Mini Portions:

• Start by heating up the key lime cream in the oven until it firms up. Once it has cooled down, add a few spoonfuls of the cream at the bottom of a small jar. Then, add the crackers crumb mixture to the cream and decorate it with meringue and lemon zest.
