Creamy Lime Chiller Recipes

EASY LIME CREMA RECIPE

Steps:

• Zest the lime and squeeze the lime juice into a small bowl.
• Add the sour cream, garlic and salt to the bowl and stir everything together until it's combined and creamy.
• Use immediately or store in the fridge until ready to serve.

CREAMY LIME PIE

Steps:

• For the crust, combine the flour, butter, shortening (or lard), salt, and sugar in a food processor. Pulse until the flour looks a little damp (rather than powdery), with tiny bits of fat still visible. Alternatively, combine the ingredients in a large bowl and quickly work the fats into the flour with a pastry blender.
• Add 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water. Continue to pulse the dough until it comes together in rough, stiff clumps; if there is unincorporated flour in the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle in a little more ice water.Transfer the dough into a bowl and gather together into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edge, trim off excess dough, and chill for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly oil a 15-inch piece of foil and lay it, oiled-side down, onto the crust; press down to line the crust snugly. Fill with beans or pie weights. Bake until the edges begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Carefully remove the beans (or weights) and foil; return the crust to the oven and bake until it no longer looks moist, 8 to 10 minutes. If it bubbles at this point, gently press it down with the back of a spoon. Brush the beaten egg yolk over the crust, then let cool completely, 1 hour.
• For the filling, whisk together the lime zest, eggs, all-purpose flour, and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the cream, lime juice, orange juice, and orange liqueur.
• Pour the filling into the cooled, parbaked pie crust. Place the pie in the lower third of the 350 F oven and bake until nearly set in the center (a knife inserted halfway between the edge and the center should come out clean), 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove pie from oven and cool on a wire rack; serve still warm if you can, dusted with powdered sugar and garnished with whipped cream and fresh lime zest.
