Pour the filling into the prebaked pie shell, set in the lower third of the 350-degree oven, and bake until nearly set in the center (a knife inserted halfway between the edge and the center should come out clean), about 45 minutes. Stir in the thick cream, lime juice, orange juice and orange liqueur.
CREAMY KEY LIME PIE RECIPE CRACK
Crack the eggs into a large bowl measure in the lime zest, sugar and masa harina or flour, and beat by hand until thoroughly combined. (If it bubbles at this point, gently press it down with the back of a spoon.) Brush the beaten egg yolk over the crust, then let cool completely. Carefully remove the beans (or weights) and foil, return the crust to the oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes, until it no longer looks moist. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Fill with beans or pie weights and bake about 15 minutes, until beginning to brown around the edges. Lightly oil a 15-inch piece of foil and lay it, oiled-side down, into the crust (heavy duty foil is too stiff to work here) press down to line the crust snugly. Decoratively crimp the edge and trim the excess dough. Transfer to a 9-inch glass pie pan (I find it easiest to roll the dough onto the rolling pin, then unroll it onto the pie pan). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Press the dough together into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour. The dough will be in rough, rather stiff clumps if there is unincorporated flour in the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle in a little more ice water and use the fork to work it together. Using a fork, little by little work the ice-water mixture into the flour mixture.

Mix together the sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of ice water. If using the food processor, transfer the mixture to a bowl. Quickly work the fats into the flour with a pastry blender or pulse the food processor until the flour looks a little damp (not powdery) but tiny bits of fat are still visible. Measure the flour, butter, and shortening (or lard) into a bowl or a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
