Raspberry ley lime pie is a fun take on a classic dessert. It is made with a graham cracker and walnut crust, a tart key lime filling, and then topped with a raspberry swirl. This chilled dessert is perfect for those hot summer months when fresh key limes are in season.
In a food processor combine the walnuts or pecans, graham crackers, sugar, and cinnamon. Blend until nuts are finely chopped and mixed well. Slowly drizzle in the butter.
1 cup graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup walnuts, 2 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 6 tablespoons butter
Pour the crumbs into the pie pan. Using the flat bottomed glass press the graham cracker mixture firmly along the bottom and the sides of the pie pan.
Bake for 10 minutes and remove from the oven to cool. Leave the oven on.
Making the raspberry swirl
In a bowl combine he raspberries and sugar. Using a spoon or spatula mash the raspberries against the side of the bowl.
6 ounces raspberries, 2 tablespoon sugar
Place a fine mesh sieve over a mixing bowl and press the raspberries to release the remaining juice. This liquid should be very thin and that is ok.
Making the key lime filling
In a mixing bowl combine the condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice, and lime zest. Whisk until evenly combined.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and then drizzle the raspberry syrup on top of the filling. Using a knife or toothpick swirl the raspberry sauce.
Bake for 20 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and cool on the counter for an hour.
