Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Crumble the cookies using a food processor or a rolling pin, and mix the crumbs with sugar. Melt the butter and pour it into the mixture.
Step 2
Press the future base for the pie into a removable pie dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom and packing it down. Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F for about 8 minutes, then let it cool completely.
Step 3
In a heatproof bowl, place the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk, then set it over a pot of boiling water and whisk 'au bain-marie' until airy. Gradually stir in the lime juice.
Step 4
Spread the lime cream over the pie crust and place the mold in the freezer for 3–4 hours.
Step 5
Take out 20 minutes before serving and let it warm up to room temperature.
