  Crushed ginger biscuits are much nicer than digestives and a little bit of dark chocolate melted and drizzled across the top. Reminds me of those chocolate lime sweets my nanna used to give us as children x

  This recipe is gorgeous!!I made the base using half digestives and half ginger biscuits (to try and keep everyone happy!!) and instead of double cream I used Elmlea(to cater for the slightly sensitive stomachs in the family!!)-it was a real hit and will be made on a regular basis.

  Gorgeous pudding and definitely worth squeezing all those limes - tho next time I'll try slightly healthier substitions such as Elmlea as the pud is so rich it gave us palpitations!

  i tried this out and it was an absolute winner and so easy to make, i made it with lower fat sweented condensed milk, which made it slightly less fatty and worked just as well! i also tried putting the juice of one lemon and it made it really zesty and fresh!

  I would like to make this pie. Would anyone be able to tell me if the crust should like a pie crust (ie all over the side of the flan dish as well) or like cheesecake crust (just at the bottom of the flan dish). Many thanks for your help.

  Superb recipe – I divided everything by half for a smaller flan tin as a serving for 12 was a bit much (for two people at home). Very easy to make and quite refreshing. I used ginger biscuits for the base as suggested and it gives a subtle bit of spice, but the limes just balance it off perfectly. In reply to HSG – the pie should be like a cheesecake.

  Excellent recipe. Very easy to make and delicious. I used ginger biscuits for the base. I also made half the recipe and re-used the glass GU desert pots. Half quantity makes 8 pots. They looked really professional. I decorated the top with a circle of ginger biscuit crumbs and a little lime zest in the middle. Highly recommended.

  This is a very easy recipe to do. I used Elmea Double Light and can do it in one food mixer, 2 bowls and a couple of spoons. I do half quantities and its still plenty. I've now had orders come through to make them!
