ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 small lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 small lime, zested and juiced
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup full fat sour cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325ºF. In a pie pan, combine the graham crackers and salt, then drizzle with the melted butter and toss with a fork until moistened. Press the crumbs firmly against the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and corn starch until smooth and lightened in color, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk in lemon, lime and orange juice, zests and vanilla into the egg mixture. Pour into a saucepan.
Step 4
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk for about 7-10 minutes, until the mixture bubbles and thickens into the consistency of warm pudding; boil for 1 minute, continue to whisk until very thick.
Step 5
Remove from the heat and whisk in the cold butter, one piece at a time, until melted and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours, then whisk in the sour cream.
Step 6
Spread the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Cover and chill for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Step 7
Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until thick; spread or pipe over the filling and garnish with the citrus fruit slices.
