- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 teaspoons finely grated fresh lime zest
- 3 cups picked-over raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- In a bowl with a pastry blender or in a food processor blend or pulse together flour, butter, shortening, and salt until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add 2 tablespoons ice water and toss or pulse until incorporated.
- Add enough remaining ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork or pulsing to incorporate, to form a dough.
- On a work surface with heel of hand smear dough in 3 or 4 forward motions to make dough easier to work with.
- Form dough into a ball and flatten to form a disk.
- Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, at least 1 hour and up to 24.
- On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out dough into a 16- by 7-inch rectangle (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Fit dough into a 13- by 4-inch rectangular tart pan with a removable fluted rim.
- Chill shell, covered, 1 hour, or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice.
- Bake shell in middle of oven 10 minutes.
- Remove weights or rice and foil and bake shell until pale golden, about 5 minutes more.
- Cool shell in pan on a rack.
- Shell may be made 2 days ahead and kept in pan, covered, at room temperature.
- Reduce temperature to 250 F. and transfer pan to a baking sheet.
- Whisk together custard ingredients.
- Pour custard into tart shell.
- Bake tart on baking sheet in middle of oven 30 minutes and transfer to rack to cool.
- (Custard will continue to set as tart cools.)
- Tart may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- In a small saucepan cook 1 cup raspberries and sugar over moderately low heat, mashing with a fork and stirring occasionally, 5 minutes and pour through a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard on solids.
- Discard solids and cool raspberry mixture.
- Remove rim of tart pan and transfer tart to a platter.
