FROSTY LIME PIE
This frozen dessert delivers cold, tart relief on a hot summer day. Pearl Byrd Foster served this pie on her menu at Mr. and Mrs. Foster's Place, her 15-table restaurant on the Upper East Side. Ms. Foster opened the restaurant after a 30-year career in hotel, department store and food magazine kitchens. Raymond Sokolov, a former food editor of The New York Times, wrote about this recipe in 1971. The real secret to making this pie, he said, is in how you handle the egg yolks. Heat them too much and they scramble, or too little and they won't thicken. When the yolks get too hot for your finger, around 165 degrees, they're hot enough.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the crust: Place the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and work with a wooden spoon (or your fingers) to blend well. Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie plate with your fingertips, or use an 8-inch pie plate to press down the mixture. Transfer to oven and bake 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Make the filling: Beat the yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer until very thick. Gradually beat in half the sugar until mixture is very pale and thick and forms a rope when dropped from the beater.
- Stir in the lime juice and zest and transfer to a double boiler. Heat over over simmering water, stirring until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do not allow to boil. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Once the yolk mixture reaches room temperature, beat the egg whites with the salt in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar until mixture is stiff and shiny. Stir a third of this meringue mixture into the cooled yolk mixture. Fold in remaining meringue mixture until evenly distributed.
- Turn the mixture out into the cooled graham cracker pie shell and bake 15 minutes, or until lightly tinged with brown. Let cool.
- Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and let chill thoroughly, uncovered, then transfer to the freezer. Freeze at least 8 hours or overnight. Once it is frozen, cover with plastic wrap and keep frozen until just before serving.
- Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Cover with the whipped cream and garnish with lime slices dipped in sugar or fresh strawberries.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine the cracker crumbs and butter in a medium bowl, and mix until moist. Evenly press mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
- In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk the yolks and lime juice together until combined. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is foamy and registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 6 minutes. Remove bowl from heat, and whisk in condensed milk and zest until well combined. Pour into cooled pie shell and smooth top with a rubber spatula. Freeze until firm, 3 hours.
- Remove pie from freezer 10 minutes before serving. Combine cream and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread evenly over pie, and serve immediately.
- Remove pie from freezer 5 minutes before serving. Spread whipped cream or meringue evenly over pie. If using meringue, brown the top with a small kitchen torch, or carefully under the broiler. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Prepare the pie crust: In a bowl, combine the flour, lard, butter and salt. Mix lightly with your fingers until the mixture forms peasized pieces. Using a fork, stir in the ice water, a little at a time, until a dough forms, and then knead lightly until it comes together in a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a round about 12-inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Drape the round over the rolling pin and transfer to a 9 inch or 10 inch glass or ceramic pie plate. Ease the pastry into the pie plate, pressing it gently against the bottom and sides. Trim the edges, leaving a generous 1/2 inch overhang. Fold the overhang under, then crimp the edges. Cover and chill for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the bottom and sides of the pastry with a fork. Line the pastry with parchment paper or waxed paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and remove the weights and paper. Transfer the pie shell to a rack and cool completely.
- Filling: In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the lime juice, green food coloring, cream cheese and condensed milk. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the work bowl often. Add the lime zest and process to mix thoroughly. Pour into the pie shell and place in the refrigerator.
- In a bowl, using a whisk, beat the crema and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture over the top of the pie, creating peaks evenly over the surface. Garnish with the lime slices. Cover and chill for 4 to 6 hours or overnight before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Finely grind vanilla wafers in processor. Add melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel; process until moist crumbs form. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Using plastic wrap as aid, press crumbs onto bottom and up sides of dish (crust will be thin). Bake just until crust begins to turn golden on edges, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Maintain oven temperature.
- Meanwhile, whisk condensed milk, lime juice and 1 tablespoon lime peel in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in eggs.
- Pour filling into warm crust. Bake until filling is set, about 20 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.) Garnish with lime slices. Cut into wedges; serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh limes for the best flavor. You can also use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
- If you don't have a graham cracker crust, you can make your own by crushing graham crackers and mixing them with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie plate and bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
- For a creamier pie, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream to the top of each slice before serving.
- If you want a sweeter pie, add more sugar to the filling. You can also top the pie with a layer of whipped cream and fresh berries.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
