STRAWBERRY AND LIME CREAM PIE

Preparation Method :

• Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F / Gas mark 5.
• The Crust: Process amaretti to coarse crumbs. Add chocolate and process again until mixture is smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in melted butter.
• Press crumb mixture over base and sides of a 9-inch loose-bottomed flan tin or pie dish measuring about 2 inches deep.
• Place tin on a baking tray and bake for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and push crust down with the back of a spoon if it has risen up.
• The Filling: Process strawberries, eggs with lime rinds and sugar until smooth. In a bowl, whip cream to soft peaks, fold in strawberry puree until evenly mixed.
• Pour filling into crust and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until set.
• Remove from oven and cool completely before removing from pan.
• Spread créme fraîche over pie. Chill until ready to serve. Decorate with sliced strawberries just before serving.
