On photo you can see there is crumble on top, as when transferring to plate, some of the crust come off.  Decided to crumb it on the top.

I have never had a piece of Key Lime Pie Denzelmum, guess the tartness of the limes is counteracted by the other ingredients?

The lime is not very dominant in this pie, I guess it cut off the sweetness from condensed milk.  Lots of crust, original recipe suggest to use it for the base and side, but I use the whole lot for the base.  Happy Mother's Day JD!

Thanks Denzelmum, must try this one - haven't seen too many cheesecakes with condensed milk in them actually baked so it intrigued me.  Have a lovely day yourself.
