Tips

  • Separate cold eggs to prevent them from falling apart.
  • If beating egg whites for volume, separate them cold and then let them reach room temperature.
  • For convenience, bottled key lime juice can be used as juicing key limes yourself can be very laborious.
  • When baking, if you can't quite fit all the filling in the pan, don't worry about it.
  • Toasted coconut can be made by toasting sweetened coconut in a 350° oven until golden.
