Key Lime Custard

Baked Marzipan

Passionfruit Coulis

Method

Key Lime Custard

  1. 1

    Prepare the Custard

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lime zest, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Bake the Custard

    Pour the mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until just set. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

Baked Marzipan

  1. 3

    Prepare the Marzipan

    In a mixing bowl, combine the marzipan, powdered sugar, egg white, and vanilla extract. Knead the mixture until smooth and pliable.

  2. 4

    Shape and Bake

    Roll the marzipan into a thin layer and cut into desired shapes. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Passionfruit Coulis

  1. 5

    Make the Coulis

    In a small saucepan, combine the passionfruit pulp, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Dessert

    Cut the cooled key lime custard into squares. Serve on a plate topped with a piece of baked marzipan and a drizzle of passionfruit coulis.
