The Hamanasi Restaurant

Fine dining is a big part of what puts Hamanasi among the best resorts in Belize. We routinely get gushing compliments on our cuisine and one of our chefs, Marcia, was among the first 10 chefs to pass a new country wide certification for Belize culinarians. We get so many requests for recipes from guests hoping to take a little bit of their Belize vacation home with them that we decided to make a category just for these little tastes of Belize. You've found it, now give them a try and let us know what you think - Enjoy!

“Hamanasi Caye Lime Pie”

by hamanasi on December 26, 2011

Our home-made Caye Lime pie is one of our guests favorite desserts, and we are happy to share the recipe with you!

HAMANASI’S CAYE LIME PIE

Ingredients:

Mix together all at once:

  • 2 cans                        Condensed Milk
  • 2                                    Egg Yolks
  • 1 tsp.                           Vanilla Extract
  • 1 c.                                Lime Juice

 Method:

  • Mix all of the above ingredients together with a paddle and pour into a graham cracker pie shell and bake for about 25 minutes on 350°F. 
  • The pie should be more firm than lose when shaken to check for doneness. 
  • Chill for 2 hours in the freezer to firm up pie prior to serving.

 

Garnish by caramelizing thinly sliced Lime wheels with White Sugar in a skillet.  Cook until the sugar and lime becomes dark.  Remove from heat and allow to cool down before using.  Slice generous portions of the pie and place the lime on top.


Happy Baking & Eating
