Method

step 1
Preheat oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas mark 3. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks (4) (save the whites for another recipe), add the condensed milk (1 tin) and whisk until smooth. Stir in lime juice (100 ml) and lime zest (2) and whisk again.
step 2
Add the tart case (1) to a greaseproof lined baking tray. Pour the filling into the pastry case. Bake for 15 minutes until just set (slight wobble in the centre is perfect). Remove and let cool, then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours (overnight is better). At the same time, add the tin of coconut cream (1 tin) to the fridge to chill for 3 hours.
step 3
Whisk together the chilled coconut cream, icing sugar (3 tbsp) and vanilla (1/2 tsp) until fluffy and smooth.
step 4
Spoon or pipe the coconut cream over the chilled pie. Finish with extra lime zest.
