Ingredients
  

  • 154 g Oreo biscuits crushed
  • 80 g butter melted
  • 4 medium eggs separated
  • 2 limes
  • 1 tin condensed milk 397g
  • 80 g caster sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar or xanthan gum

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
  • Mix the biscuits and butter together thoroughly and press into a cake tin. Leave in the fridge to harden while you do everything else.
  • Whisk the egg yolks until light and fluffy, then add the lime zest, the juice and the condensed milk. Whisk a little more to loosen and combine, then pour this on top of the biscuit.
  • Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the sugar, vanilla and cream of tartar. Continue whisking until it reaches firm peaks.
  • Spoon the egg white on top of the pie and use a spoon or fork to raise ribbons on the surface. Chuck in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool and refrigerate until needed - the flavours are much better cold.

Notes

Arguably better made the day before and eaten cold.
