Creamy Lime And Fresh Strawberry Tart
- FOR THE CRUST:
- 1 cup Almond Meal
- 1 cup Spelt Flour
- 4 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 5 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 4 teaspoons Lime Zst
- 4 Egg Yolks
- 1/2 cups Lime Juice
- 1 can 14 Oz Can Of Evaporated Milk
- FOR THE ASSEMBLY:
- 1 pint Thinly Sliced Strawberries
- 4 Tablespoons Apricot Jam
- 1 cup Whipped Cream, Whipped To Soft Peaks, For Serving (optional)
- For the crust:
- Preheat oven to 325u0b0F.
- 1. Mix all of the crust ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. Press the crust into a 9" or 10" removable bottom tart pan, making sure the crust goes all the way up the sides of the pan.
- 2. Slide pan into the oven and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While the crust is baking, prepare the lime filling.
- For the lime filling (adapted from Cook's Illustrated):
- 1. Whisk zest and egg yolks together until the yolks are light in color and the zest has tinted the mixture light green, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the juice and evaporated milk and set aside to thicken while the crust bakes and cools, about 20 minutes.
- 2. Pour the thickened mixture into the baked and cooled tart shell, slide back into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the filling is set, but still wiggly in the center. Note: If you use a 10" tart pan the lime cream won't fill the shell all the way full. This is OK, you'll just have more room for the strawberries.
- 3. Remove from the oven and let the tart cool to room temperature then place it in the fridge for a few hours to chill completely before finishing with the strawberries.
- To finish the tart:
- When the tart has chilled completely, layer the sliced strawberries on top of the tart in a decorative pattern. I like concentric circles. Warm the jam for a few seconds in the microwave, then blend until smooth. Then gently brush the top of the strawberries with the warmed jam.
- Store in the fridge until you are ready to serve, then slice it up and top it with a snowy white dollop of whipped cream.
