This pie was another take on the Grapefruit Custard Pie. It is much lighter than a Key Lime Pie and more refreshing than rich. I followed the recipe in The Four & Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book for the Grapefruit custard pie, but substituted lime juice for the grapfruit juice and yellow Chartreuse for the Campari. The herbal quality of the Chartreuse adds a little intrigue, but doesn't overpower the lime flavor that you would want from this pie.
This is definitely a the perfect pie to enjoy on a hot summer day. Throw a picnic, invite me, and I'll bring one.
Piece out!
