Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup cornstarch 
  • large eggs 
  • 0.5 cup juice of lime fresh
  • tablespoon lime rind grated
  • 0.8 cup milk 
  • 14 ounce condensed milk sweetened canned

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • whisk

Directions

  1. Whisk together 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup cornstarch in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, whisking until cornstarch dissolves.
  2. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk and eggs until blended; whisk in lime juice and, if desired, food coloring. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. (
  3. Mixture will begin to thicken when lime juice is first added, and then become thin again during first few minutes of cooking. It will thicken quickly as it comes to a boil.)
  4. Boil 1 minute, whisking constantly, or until mixture thickens.
  5. Remove mixture from heat, and whisk in butter and lime rind until smooth.
  6. Pour filling into a large bowl, and place bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice. Stir regularly until cold (about 10 minutes).
