Yield:  10 servings

 

 

Ingredients: 

 

4 oz. Brushfire Farms Prickly Pear Syrup

 

½ Cup Lime Juice

 

4 Egg Yolks

 

3 Tbsp. fresh Lime Zest

 

2 – 14 oz. cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk

 

1 – 9” Keebler Graham Cracker Pie Crust

 

1 Cup Heavy Cream

 

2 Tbsp. Powdered Sugar

 

Fresh Mint

 

Note:  You will need egg beaters of a mixing machine for the whipped cream! 

 

 

Process: 

 

Step 1:  Preheat oven to 350°.  In a large mixing bowl, combine Prickly Pear Syrup, Condensed Milk, Lime Juice, Egg Yolks and 1 Tbsp. Lime Zest.  Wisk together well, and pour into pie crust.  Do not fill pie crust all the way to the top.  Leave about a ¼ inch of space for the whipped cream.

 

Step 2:  Bake pie for 20 minutes.  Allow the pie to set in the refrigerator for at least 6 hrs. or preferably overnight.  

 

Step 3:  In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine Heavy Cream, Powdered Sugar and 1 Tbsp. of Lime Zest.  Blend with Egg Beaters for several minutes until whipped peaks form. 

 

Step 4:  Remove pie from refrigerator and spread whipped cream onto the pie with a spatula or spoon.  Garnish pie with 1 Tbsp. of fresh lime zest and garnish each slice with a sprig of fresh mint.  Tip:  Pull the foil rim back away from the crust before slicing to make it easier to cut into and enjoy!
