  Very tasty, maybe a bit too strong, so will try with one less lime next time. Enjoyed by all. Couldn't get ginger nut biscuits at a sensible price here so used digestives instead but found I had a bit too much base mix for the dish. My husband said it reminded him of a lemon meringue pie without the meringue!

  I have made this three times now and every time has been as great as the first! I made it for a friends leaving "afternoon-tea" party and it dissapeared immeadiately! Its smooth and tangy, just perfection.

  Even with all the lemon and lime a bit too sweet for me. I did make with one less lime though as didn't have enough.

  Easy and quick to make - I used a baking tray as I didn't have a fluted tart tin and it was just as good. Both husband and friends loved it. It's crispy, light and zingy - great after chicken or a fish main course.

  This was very tasty, but as another poster said, the base was so hard to cut. Next time I'll take it out of the fridge at least an hour in advance of serving.

  I should have thought this through more when deciding to this recipe, considering that I don't have a food processor or an electric whisk! I forgot that gingernuts are some of the hardest biscuits ever and took ages to get them crushed and as I got terribly bored there were big clumps left in, but persevered nonetheless. The topping came out brilliantly and may just do that again and add it to a tart tin.

  This is a delicious pudding especially for summer as it is just so fresh! The ratio of ingredients and method for making are spot on. Next time, I will omit the lemon (juice and zest) as felt this overpowered the lime flavour slightly and add in an extra lime (5 in total). Also, I would add some (extra) ground ginger to the base (1/2 tsp.) or use better quality ginger biscuits. Served chilled with a big dollop of crème fraiche... mmmm!

  I made this for a family BBQ and it went down very well. I reduced the number of limes to 3 and am considering going to 2.5 next time. I served it on its own but found it was very sweet and very limey. Next time I will serve with a small scoop of ice cream. Will definitely be making again as it was a lovely desert and simple recipe. I might even try to turn it into a cheesecake at some point.

  I made the pie according to the recipe and it was well received at a dinner party. The filling was lovely - really zesty but I thought the base was very thick and baked very hard. The upside was it was easy to get out of the tin. The downside was you need good teeth!!

  A new neighbourhood favourite! It does need some cream on top though. I whipped up about a cup of cream with tablespoons of castersugar and a couple of teaspoons of vanilla extract and put it on top. A winner!

  Nice and easy to make and it looks impressive but just a bit too sweet and sickly for me, even with all the citrus in it.
