Would this fill up a regular size pie crust?

In reply to Fran.

Hi Fran – sorry you had trouble. You’ve got to cook the curd until it thickens up and then let it get completely chilled then it will have a soft jam-like consistency. You also want to make sure your cream is whipped to soft peaks and then gently fold the cream with the curd so it doesn’t deflate and get runny.

I followed the recipe but it did not set up at all. Since I had used great ingredients (Walkers shortbread crust was fabulous) , I served it as a pudding but we were all so terribly disappointed. Not pie and not REALLY key lime.

I have the best recipe for delicious lime curd. Its easy and always good. I always had trouble with curds not thickening, This one always thickens. Just put 4 eggs (I use x-large) 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice, tsp lime zest/peel (optional) 1/8 tsp salt in a medium pan. Put on medium heat and whisk until blended. Add 1/2 cup butter cubed and whisk constantly until thickened & coats back of spoon. Pour into clean bowl and cool 15 minutes or so. Cover with plastic and refrigerate. It DOES thicken as it cools. Excellent and easy. Yum

In reply to susan. Hi Susan - definitely. Make sure to mix your strawberries with sugar and let them sit so some of the juices draw out before you fold them in. maybe mash half. You don't want too much juice though.

These look awesome! I can’t wait to try it. It seems like a really versatile recipe. Would it work if I omit the curd altogether and use whipping cream and strawberries?

Hello Barbara, too bad I could not try your recipe – i am raw and eating only fruits and vegetables… but pictures are awesome! I think you find a great exposure to your love of baking – you are posting to blog, baking is still a hobby. I am sure you could start a successful cafe, but it could ruin you love to bake – that happened to me, I really loveded driving before working as a driver.

Maybe you are planning to write a book of recipes? 😉

Good luck!
