  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C and grease a rectangular loose bottom pie dish (±36cm by 12 cm) very well.
  2. TO MAKE THE CRUST: Combine the crushed biscuits, lime zest and the melted butter to make the crust.
  3. Press the mixture onto the base and sides of the pie dish - press firmly with a spoon to make sure it sticks to the side.
  4. Refrigerate for 30 mins before adding the filling.
  5. TO MAKE THE FILLING: Combine the whipping cream, egg yolks in a bowl and mix well to bombine.
  6. Add the lime zest, condensed milk and sour cream and mix well.
  7. Lastly add the lime juice and mix well - the mixture will thicken.
  8. Pour the filling into the chilled crust.
  9. Bake in the pre-heated oven for ±25 mins (do NOT let it brown).
  10. Cool completely and remove from the pie dish onto a serving plate.
  11. TO MAKE THE TOPPING: Beat the cream and icing sugar until stiff. Spoon into a piping bag and pipe rosettes on the cooled pie.
  12. Garnish with lime zest and lime slices.
