Key Lime Tart Ingredients

Method

Key Lime Tart Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the filling

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, remaining sugar, and orange blossom water until smooth.

  3. 3

    Fill the tart

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the filling is just set. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Serve the tart

    Once chilled, slice the tart and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, a spoonful of blueberry jam, a sprinkle of toasted almonds, and a garnish of lime zest.
