Servings: persons

3/4 cup graham flour
3/4 white whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon light muscovado sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
8 tablespoons unsalted cold butter cut into cubes
small glass of well chilled dry white wine (or chilled champagne vinegar)
5 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 cup fresh key lime juice
3 ounces honey (linden, chestnut or acacia) to taste
1/2-1 tablespoons key lime zest, to your taste
1 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest, to your taste
12 ounces thick Greek yogurt
wheels of key limes for garnish
optional additional garnishes for variation include caraway (or fennel seeds), key lime zest
dollops of whipped cream or creme fraice

1
Be sure to fluff up your flour before measuring and then level off the measuring cup evenly. Combine the flours, sugar, and salt together. Using a pastry blender work in the cold butter.
2
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cold wine into the flour mix until the dough comes together. Add a third tablespoon if needed, or even a bit more, depending upon humidity. Form a ball, put in a plastic bag and chill for 30 minutes.
3
Meanwhile combine the egg yolks, juice, honey, zests, and yogurt in a bowl. Mix well. Keep cold. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
4
Roll the chilled dough out in between 2 sheets of parchment paper to form a large circle, as thin as possible,just under a 1/8 of an inch. Line a pie plate with the dough. Cut away the excess along the rim. Using a fork poke the bottom of the crust. You can line the pie crust with parchment and then add pie weights, if you like.
5
Bake the pie crust for about 15-20 minutes. Then remove the parchment and any weights. Lower the oven to 325 degrees. Pour the yogurt mix into the pie shell.Place the pie within a larger baking pan. Fill that with cool water so it comes up midway to the pie plate. Bake about 50 minutes or until the custard has set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool.
6
To serve, garnish slices with caraway (which you can first pan toast), key lime wheels and/or lime zest. Include dollops of whipped cream, Greek yogurt, or creme fraiche, too.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
