Slowly whisk in the lime juice, adding a little bit at a time and whisking constantly. Fold in the flour. Pour on top of the partially baked crust. Smooth the top with a spatula, then place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. It should be set, but still slightly wobbly in the middle. Transfer pie to a cooling rack and cool completely in the pan. Then transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours before serving! Top with whipped cream, if using, then slice and serve!
