1. Melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the crushed biscuits. Lightly press into the base of a 23cm deep loose-bottomed cake tin and place in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes.
2. Grate the zest of 3 limes and set aside. Slice 1 lime as thin as possible and set aside. Juice the remaining 7 limes into a large bowl or the bowl of a food processor.
3. Add the cream and condensed milk and whisk for 4 minutes. Add the lime zest to the mixture and lightly stir with a wooden spoon.
4. Take the biscuit base out of the fridge and use a spatula to transfer the cream mixture onto the biscuit base.
5. Decorate with a dollop of crème fraîche and thin lime slices at regular intervals.
6. Place in the fridge and chill for 2 hours.
