Kind of like lemon meringue pie without the meringue bit, or like key lime pie if you use limes :)
Ingredients
About 200g biscuits (I used a mix of digestives and ginger nuts)
Non-hydrogenated Margarine (I used soya Pure)
50g Sugar
35g Cornflour
2 unwaxed Lemons (or 3 unwaxed limes)
Boiling water
Method
Crush biscuits and mix in enough margarine so they start to clump together (I used a food processor to do this). Press into your pie dish to give about a 1cm thickness all around. Bake in a medium oven for about 10 minutes.
Finely grate lemon zest from both lemons then juice them. Top juice up to 500ml with boiling water, combine with zest and heat in saucepan until nearly boiling.
Meanwhile mix 35g cornflour with 50g sugar to a smooth paste with a little cold water. Pour hot lemon mix over the paste, stir and return to the pan.
Stir in one tablespoon of margarine. Bring to the boil stirring all the time until it thickens nicely and all the margarine is incorporated. Check sweetness and add sugar as necessary.
Pour into base, and set aside to cool, then stick it in the fridge to get nice and cold.
Serve with ice cream or squirty cream.
