Prema receptu Cindy Nielson Farr s bloga Tropical life, food and fun

Sastojci:

Kora:
2 šalice usitnjenih keksa
60 – 100 g otopljenog maslaca

Nadjev:
230 g krem sira
400 g kondenziranog mlijeka
3 bjelanjka
½ šalice soka limete (3 – 4 iscijeđene limete)
3 – 5 žlica šećera u prahu (ovisno o slatkoći kondenziranog mlijeka)

 

tučeno slatko vrhnje (za ukras)

Priprema:

Pećnicu zagrijte na 160 °C.
Kekse pomiješajte s otopljenim maslacom pa ih rasporedite po dnu i rubu kalupa za pite. Dobro natiskajte da dobijete kompaktnu koru.
Pecite 8 – 10 minuta.
U međuvremenu napravite nadjev.
Mikserom kratko istucite krem sir. Dodajte kondenzirano mlijeko i dobro izmiksajte. Dodajte bjelanjke i ponovno miksajte da se krema izjednači. Na kraju dodajte sok od limete i šećer po ukusu. Izjednačite smjesu pa je ulijte u pripremljenu koru.
Vratite u pećnicu na 10 minuta da se nadjev stisne. Izvadite iz pećnice i ostavite da se ohladi.
Ohlađenu pitu stavite u hladnjak na nekoliko sati.
Prije posluživanja ukrasite tučenim slatkim vrhnjem.
