Mysterious Announcement / Fresh Lime & Coconut Condensed Milk Tart. (Ovo-vegetarian)

So my little brother & his girlfriend (M) have invited both of their families for dinner tomorrow, saying they have something exciting to tell us. Not something we usually do, so I presume they're engaged? Maybe pregnant? Probably engaged?

I want to take something nice for dessert that we can all eat.
This is complicated, as M has various food allergies: gluten, dairy, potatoes, lots more, and she is ALSO a picky eater who doesn't like fruit or "weird" ingredients.
On top of that, I eat 99% vegan - the only exception is eggs from my pet hens, who we recently adopted from a battery farm rescue group. Between four of them they lay one egg most days, which is technically a very low production, but to me is an abundance! I feel so wealthy with three precious happy-eggs in the fridge!

I also have an abundance of limes lately, so despite M's dislike of fruit, I thought I'd try making a lime pie based on the Lime Pie recipe from Everybody Likes Sandwiches (a vegetarian cook).
