Directions:CRUST:
1.Preheat oven to 350º. Adjust an oven rack to center position.
2.Mix the crumbs, sugar, salt and canela/cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the butter and stir with a fork until well-blended. Press the mixture evenly over the bottom and about 1 to 1½" up the sides of a 9" springform pan. Bake until lightly browned and fragrant, about 12-15 minutes. Cool.
FILLING:
1.Whisk the zest and the yolks in a medium bowl and let stand 2 minutes. Whisk in the condensed milk and the lime juice and set aside at room temperature to thicken. This will happen almost immediately
2.Pour the filling into the crust and bake until the center is set, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours.
3. Serve with lightly whipped cream and garnish with lime slices. (I usually leave off the whipped cream because my boyfriend lactose-intolerant; sometimes I use Reddi-Whip but it's DELICIOUS even without the whipped cream) |
