I’m not really sure just why the “pie” of the Frozen Lime “pie” is in quotes- it it because there isn’t a crust so somehow it is a fake pie? But it has a topping.
No idea.
FROZEN LIME “PIE”
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 1 pint half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon grated lime rind
- ⅓ cup fresh lime juice
- Topping (recipe follows)
- In a medium bowl with an electric beater, beat the eggs until thick and lemon color.
- Gradually beat in the sugar, continuing to beat if necessary until thick and ivory color.
- Add the corn syrup, half-and-half, lime rind and lime juice, beat gently until blended.
- Pour into an 8-by-2-inch cake span; place in freezer until mixture is frozen around the edges.
- Turn into a bowl and beat until just smooth.
- Pour into a 9-inch pie plate and place in freezer.
Lime “Pie” Topping
- ¼ cup butter
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup broken walnuts
In an 8-inch skillet, melt ¼ cup butter; remove from heat and stir in ¾ cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs and ½ cup of fairly coarsely broken walnuts.
- Distribute as evenly as possible in a 13- by-9-by-1-inch pan (crumb mixture will not cover bottom); bake in a preheated 375- degree oven, stirring once or twice, until lightly browned — about 8 minutes.
Cool completely.
