Kiwi Pie Recipe Ingredients

• 15 whole Graham Crackers (the 4-section large pieces)
• 1/2 cup Macadamia Nuts
• 1/3 cup Sugar
• 1/3 cup Butter, Melted
• 1 can Sweetened, Condensed Milk
• 2 whole Egg Yolks
• 1/2 cup Lime Juice
• 1 Tbsp. Lime Zest
• 6 whole Kiwi, Peeled And Sliced
• Sweetened Whipped Cream For Serving
• Extra Kiwi Slices, For Serving
• Extra Chopped Macadamia Nuts, For Serving

How To Make Kiwi Pie Recipe

1. Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers with the macadamia nuts and sugar until the mixture is fine. Add the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are moist.
2. Bake the crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan. Bake for 5 minutes, or until golden and set. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
3. Make the filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and thick.
4. Bake the pie: Pour the filling into the slightly cooled crust and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
5. Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the cooled pie for at least 1 hour, or longer if possible, until the filling is firm. Just before serving, arrange the kiwi slices on top of the pie. Top generously with whipped cream and garnish with extra kiwi slices and chopped macadamia nuts.

Recipe Tips

• How to get a non-soggy crust? The secret is pre-baking the crust for 5 minutes. This creates a barrier that helps prevent the creamy filling from seeping in and making the bottom soft.
• Can I use a different nut in the crust? Absolutely. If you don’t have macadamia nuts, pecans or walnuts would be a delicious substitute and would also pair well with the tropical flavors.
• How do I know the filling is set? After baking for 15 minutes, the filling should be mostly set but will still have a slight jiggle in the center. It will firm up completely as it cools and chills in the refrigerator.
• Can I make this pie ahead of time? Yes, this is a great make-ahead dessert. You can prepare and bake the pie a day in advance. Keep it refrigerated and add the fresh kiwi and whipped cream toppings just before you plan to serve it for the best presentation.

What To Serve With Kiwi Pie

This pie is a showstopper on its own, but it’s lovely with a simple beverage.

• A hot cup of coffee or tea
• A glass of cold milk
• A light, fruity iced tea

How To Store Kiwi Pie

• Refrigerate: This pie must be stored in the refrigerator due to the dairy and egg-based filling. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and it will keep for up to 3 days. Note that the crust may soften slightly over time.
