Eggless Key Lime Pie

I love Key Lime pie.  It is tangy and sweet and simply delicious. With or without egg doesn't matter to me but my guests that day did not have eggs so the eggless version came into existence. It is not my original recipe. I checked for the recipes on the internet, read a few and eventually created my own version. Here's what you need:

Ingredients:

For the pie shell:

White Flour - 4 tablespoons
Butter (cold)- 1 tablespoon
Sugar - 1 tablespoon
Milk- 1 tablespoon

For the filling:

Sweetened Condensed milk- 1 tin (I prefer Nestle, milk made)
Butter- 2 tablespoons
Fresh key lime juice from 3-4 key limes depending on the size
Key lime zest/rind from 1 key lime
Fresh juice from 1/2 a lemon

Process:

Mix together all the ingredients for the pie shell and make a firm ball. Refrigerate for 15 minutes and then roll and set it in your pie dish. Make sure it is a thin layer. I did not have a pie dish so I used the lid of one of my Borosil containers and put foil on it, so that the shell comes out easily.

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180 degree Celsius.

Once it is baked, keep it aside and let it cool completely.

In the mean while, in a dish take condensed milk and add butter to it. Now using a hand mixer beat it for 4 to 5 minutes.

Next add the key lime juice, lemon juice and zest and beat again for another 3 to 4 minutes.
* You may also add a few drops of green food colouring if you desire.

Now take this filling and pour it into your prepared pie shell.

Refrigerate the pie over night or at least 6 hours. Decorate as desired and serve.
