Ingredients

  • FOR THE GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:
  • 1-1/2 cup Graham Wafer Crumbs
  • 1/2 cups Icing Sugar
  • 1/2 cups Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
  • 6 Tablespoons Coconut Oil, Melted
  • FOR THE GARNISH:
  • 1/4 cups Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
  • 1 Lime, Zested
  • 1/4 cups White Chocolate Shavings
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter
  • 4 Limes, Zested
  • 1/2 cups Lime Juice
  • 1/8 teaspoons Salt
  • 5 Egg Yolks
  • 2 teaspoons Unflavoured Gelatin
  • 2 Tablespoons Cold Water
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1/3 cups Coconut Milk

Method

  • For the graham wafer crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a food processor, mix graham wafer crumbs, icing sugar, shredded coconut, and coconut oil (melt coconut oil in microwave on high for about 30 seconds). Pulse 10-15 seconds until mixed. Press mixture into 9-inch spring form pan, up the sides about 1 inch. Bake for about 20 minutes, until crust is golden and firm. Let cool in pan on rack while you prepare the remaining components of the recipe.
  • FOR THE GARNISH:
  • Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. On a sheet pan, bake shredded coconut for about 3-5 minutes, until lightly toasted. Watch carefully because they can burn rather quickly. Set aside to garnish cake.
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • In a pot on the stovetop on medium-low heat, melt unsalted butter. Remove from heat, add lime zest, lime juice, salt and egg yolks. Put back on stovetop and, constantly stirring, cook for about 5-8 minutes or until mixture coats the back of a spoon and you can draw a line on it. Once this consistency is reached, strain curd into a bowl using a sieve to get rid of any solids (especially from the eggs). Reserve about 1/2 cup of the curd and set aside for topping the cake.
  • Mix the gelatin with cold water in a small dish and let sit for a few minutes. In a large bowl, mix yogurt with honey and coconut milk. Add gelatin mixture.
  • While stirring, slowly add curd mixture to yogurt mixture and combine. Pour into prepared crust. Gently pour remaining 1/2 cup reserved curd on top. Using a wooden skewer, swirl the curd through. Place in the refrigerator until it sets, about 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  • Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut over cake, along with lime zest and white chocolate shavings.
