I make Key Lime Pie at least four times a month during summer, itâs so refreshing. The shortbread crust adds richness. Ingredients:

1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
filling: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1/2 cup key lime juice or lime juice |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix cookie crumbs, macadamia nuts and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto bottom and up sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in milk and lime juice until blended. Transfer to crust. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours.
3. In a small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form; spoon or pipe onto pie. Top with macadamia nuts. Yield: 8 servings.
