  TM 5
  
  If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
  For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Recipe's preparation

Preheat oven to 190 degrees or 180 degrees fan-forced.

Line a 23cm pie tin with baking paper or grease a non-stick 23cm pie tin.

To make the pie base:

Melt butter 3 mins 10 sec 50 degrees Speed 2.

Pop in Marie biscuits and caster sugar, MC on, and blitz for 5 sec Speed 10.

Scrape down with your spatula and blitz for another 5 sec Speed 10 MC on.

Press this pie base mixture firmly into the base and sides of the pie tin, and bake for 8 minutes.

Wash and dry your Thermomix bowl, then insert butterfly whisk.

For the pie filling:

Whisk the egg yolks for 1 min Speed 4 MC on. Pour this mixture into a separate bowl.

Pop the lime zest (I use a potato peeler to peel the limes, then blitz the zest for 3 sec Speed tmrc_emoticons.8) , lime juice and condensed milk into your Thermomix bowl and mix 30 sec Speed 3.5 MC on.

Pour in the egg yolks and mix 15 sec Speed 3.5.

Now pour your filling mixture into the pie base and bake for a further 15 minutes.

For the meringue topping:

Very carefully clean and dry your Thermomix bowl and butterfly whisk, then pop in the egg whites. Beat 2 mins Speed 3.5 MC on.

Scrape down with your spatula, then add salt and Cream of Tartar. Mix 2 mins Speed 3.5, and slowly add the icing sugar through the hole in the lid.

Spoon the meringue mixture over the top of your pie, and pop it back in the oven for another 8 minutes to bake until the meringue is lightly golden.

Cool in the fridge for at least 1 hour before cutting. Enjoy!
