Simply Refreshing Summer Lime Tart
- 1 1/2 cups flour, unbleached all-purpose
- 1/2 cup butter, unsalted 1 stick, cut into small cubes, cold
- 1 tablespoon sugar white granulated
- 18 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 each egg yolks extra large or jumbo
- 2 tablespoons water icy cold
- 4 each egg yolks extra large or jumbo
- 14 ounces milk, sweetened condensed fat free or regular
- 1/2 cup lime juice freshly squeezed
- 2 1/2 teaspoons lime zest grated
- For the pastry:
- In food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar and salt.
- Evenly distribute cubed butter over the top and process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and pulse 3 times.
- With processor running, add the water and process, pulsing, until a rough ball is formed.
- Turn dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Using back of hands, press dough into a disk.
- Wrap tightly with the plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
- On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle.
- Transfer to a 9 or 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Fit the dough into the edges and remove any excess by firmly rolling your pin over the top edges (save any scraps to make mini tarts!).
- Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (this allows the gluten to relax so the pastry won't shrink while baking).
- Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
- Remove dough-lined pan from refrigerator; prick bottom all over with fork.
- Line with parchment parchment paper and fill with dried beans or pie weights.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove parchment with beans/weights and bake an additional 10 minutes, until nicely browned.
- Set on rack to cool.
- Preheat oven to 325 degress
- For the filling:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment, combine the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice and zest.
- Whisk on medium-high speed until thoroughly combined, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Immediately pour filling into cooled pastry shell.
- Bake 14 to 15 minutes, until set.
- Completely cool on wire rack; refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Carefully remove sides of pan by lifting the bottom and transfer to serving plate or cake pedestal.
- Decorate or garnish the entire tart as you wish, or just garnish each individual plate as you serve.
- I like to use light whipped cream/toppping and a few fresh blueberries.
