Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham crackers
- 85 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 395 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 120 milliliters Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 250 milliliters Whipped cream
- 4 pieces Lime slices
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
In a food processor, blend the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Transfer the graham cracker crumbs to a mixing bowl and stir in the granulated sugar.
Melt the unsalted butter and pour it into the crumb mixture. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Ensure the crust is compact and even.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and egg yolks until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the lime filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the tart for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is just set and slightly jiggles in the center when moved.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set properly.
Before serving, pipe or dollop whipped cream onto the tart and garnish with lime slices for decoration.
Cut into slices and serve chilled. Enjoy your refreshing lime tart!
