Lime Tarts


A recipe from Wyona

Lime Tarts
         1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
         5 tablespoons butter, melted
         1/4 cup ground almonds
         3 tablespoons sugar
         FILLING:
         4 egg yolks
         1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
         1/2 cup lime juice
         2 teaspoons grated lime peel
         TOPPING:
         1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
         1 tablespoon sugar
         1/2 cup sour cream
         1 teaspoon grated lime peel
                  Fresh raspberries and lime wedges
Preheat oven to 325°. In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs, butter, almonds and sugar. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. tart pan. Bake 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks, milk, lime juice and peel. Pour over crust. Bake 12-14 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in sour cream and grated lime peel. Spread over tart.

Lime curd cream filling:
3 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup fresh lime juice (or sub bottled)
Zest of 1 or 2 limes (I used 1.5 tbsp lime zest)
4 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup whipped coconut cream**
Make the lime curd cream filling: In a small pot, whisk together the eggs, sugar, juice and zest until smooth. Place over medium heat* and cook, stirring continuously, until thickened (4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Garnish:
   ¼ cup toasted coconut
   Grated lime zest
1 ½ cup whipped coconut cream**
Whipped Coconut Cream
2 cans full fat coconut milk, refrigerated 16-24 hours
1 tsp vanilla
½-2/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
When the curd has cooled to room temperature, stir in whipped coconut cream slowly.
Spoon warm filling into the cooled tart shells and place in the fridge to set completely.
Divide remaining coconut cream between tarts and garnish with toasted coconut and lime zest. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
