These were absolutely HEAVENLY! You MUST refridgerate them before eating or else the lime curd does not set, they taste FAR better after being in the fridge! In the recipe they forgot to put how much lime juice, I used the juice of three (not so juicy) limes. So with juicy ones it would be just two. I messed up and melted the butter before mixing the bottom layer, but I actually liked it more that way, they were soft and chewy bottoms. The bottom did not brown like it says because of this, so I just cooked it 12 minutes before putting the top layer on. You MUST try these!
