Some recipes are spot on! The lemon bars I made earlier in the summer were perfect! No additional gallons of lemon juice were necessary. The same applies to this pie.
I could seriously go on and on about this pie and take up an entire page of my blog. But as it is I may already bore you with my run-on sentences. :) So I will try and keep this brief. If you love the 'tart' aspect of citrus desserts, if this is in fact your favourite part of a dessert, then this is the pie for you! The lime cream is similar to a curd except, as indicated in the title, it is on the creamier side. But don't let this fool you into thinking it isn't as puckery as a curd. It just gives it the flavour and texture of an edible sublime silk. The addition of freshly ground ginger makes it all the more cheek tingling. When this pie is nice and cold, you feel as though you are eating the food of the Gods. The forbidden pie. While you eat it, the cool lime cream melts gently into the buttery, slightly sweet and flaky crust. The meringue is like a puffy cloud that floats sweetly on top of the lime but never fights the tartness. They play gently together.
