- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp Amoretti® Key Lime Extract W.S.

Directions
CRUST- Mix Graham Cracker Crumbs, sugar, and melted butter together thoroughly.
- Press into a greased 9" springform cake pan.

- Pour over the cooled crust.
- Bake in a 325°F oven for 15 minutes.
- Chill for at least two hours or overnight.
- It is best to make this topping right before you are ready to use it. If you make it ahead and chill it, the consistency will change and you will not be able to spread it onto the pie.
- Whip the mascarpone just to soften it.
- Add the cream and mix to combine.
- Add the powdered sugar, extract and zest, mixing to combine.
- Spread over the top of the pie, and chill for 2 hours before removing the springform ring and serving.
