225g digestive biscuits, crushed;
95g butter;
1 tsp grated lime zest;
juice of 4 limes;

Gently melt the butter over a low heat. Add to the crushed buscuits and mix thoroughly. Press the mixture into the base and sides of a loose-based flan tin which is 23cm wide and 2.5cm deep. Bake in the oven (180c/ gas4) for 10 minutes until crisp.

Pour the mixture on to the biscuit base and return to the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Cover and chill in the fridge until needed. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
