Instructions
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and grease pie dish (approx 9inch dish).
Break up biscuits and crush them in a bowl with the end of a rolling pin, or crush them into a food processor and mix for 1 minute until you get an even crumb mixture.
Add 3 tablespoons sugar to the crumbs.
Melt the butter in a pan and add to the biscuits.
Press the biscuit mix into the pan and bake for 15 minutes or until it starts to harden and brown. Set aside to cool.
Add the egg yolks to a mixing bowl and beat them until they start to become thick and lighter in colour.
Add half of the condensed milk, whisk through then add the rest.
Combine the bottled lime juice, fresh lime and zest. Add half of this to the egg mixture and whisk through, add the other half and mix until combined.
Pour this mixture on top of the base and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
To Serve: Whip the cream in a bowl until it forms thick peaks. Add the remaining 2 tbs sugar to the cream, mix through. Serve on top of the pie (when it has cooled).
Sprinkle any loose crumbs from the base over the pie.
