Valmistusohje
Vaihe vaiheelta
- 1
Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F).
Noin 5 min
- 2
Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large, clean, dry bowl and the yolks in a separate medium bowl.
Noin 2 min
Kokin vinkki: Ensure no yolk gets into the whites, as this will prevent them from whipping up properly.
- 3
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Noin 4 min
Kokin vinkki: Stiff peaks mean the whites will hold their shape and won't slide out if you tip the bowl.
- 4
Add the sweetened condensed milk and lime juice to the bowl with the egg yolks.
Noin 1 min
- 5
Whisk the yolk mixture until it is smooth and fully combined. Stir in the green food coloring, if using.
Noin 1 min
- 6
Add about one-third of the beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture and gently fold it in to lighten the base.
Noin 1 min
Kokin vinkki: Use a spatula and a scooping motion from the bottom up to fold, which helps maintain volume.
- 7
Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined, being careful not to overmix and deflate the filling.

Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust and spread gently to even the top.
Noin 1 min
- 9
Bake for 10 minutes. The center should be just set and no longer liquid.
Noin 10 min
Kokin vinkki: The pie will still have a slight wobble; it will firm up as it cools.
- 10
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for about 1 hour.
- 11
Once cool, transfer the pie to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Kokin vinkki: Chilling is crucial for the pie to set fully and for the best flavor and texture.

Optionally, just before serving, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Serve slices of pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest.
