CASHEW CRUSTED KEY LIME PIE WITH A WHIPPED CREAM FRUIT COULIS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Grease a 9-inch pie pan and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the cashews, graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, and the melted butter (you may choose to process the cashews and graham crackers in a food processor to finely grind them). Press crumb mixture into the bottom and sides or pie pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth, mixing either by hand or with an electric mixer. Slowly add the Key lime juice and mix to incorporate. Pour into the unbaked crust and bake for 50 minutes or until center is set. Cool pie to room temperature; then refrigerate for several hours.
- When pie is cool, make the whipped topping. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream, orange zest, and remaining 2 ounces of sugar until it has reached the consistency of whipped cream. Spread whipped topping evenly over the cooled pie. The pie can be served immediately or allowed to set before serving.
KEY LIME BARS
I love key lime pie, but some people are reluctant to take a whole slice of pie. These bars give just the right taste of key lime and freeze well, so I can keep a stash for when I need a tart treat. -Kristine Staton, Broomfield, Colorado

Tips:
- Use high-quality cashews for a rich, creamy texture.
- Soak the cashews overnight or for at least 4 hours to soften them. This will make them easier to blend and will help to create a smooth filling.
- Use fresh lime juice for a bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as intense.
- Add a pinch of salt to the filling to balance out the sweetness of the sugar.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the crust so that it fits inside the plate.
- Bake the bars or pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The filling should be firm to the touch but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
- Let the bars or pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Creamy Cashew Lime Bars or Pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy cashew filling is perfectly balanced by the tangy lime flavor, and the graham cracker crust adds a delightful crunch. This dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
