Recipe of the Week

SHY LIME PIE

Shy Brothers Farm - Westport, MA

Makes 8 Servings

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 Tbs melted butter
  • 1 tub of Cloumage (15 oz)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1½ tsp corn starch
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1½ tsp lime zest
  • .3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice

Directions

  1. For the Crust: In a medium-size bowl, mix the crumbs and butter together evenly and pack into a 9-inch deep pie pan. Set aside.
  2. For the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except the lime juice until smooth. Add the juice and mix one additional minute. (An electric mixer will make the filling fluffier than hand mixing.) Pour filling into the prepared pie shell.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Should have a little jiggle and be firm. Don’t let the surface brown. Refrigerate for at least an hour to set fully.
