Key Lime Tarts
Let
me start out by explaining the difference between Key limes and your
everyday supermarket variety, the Persian lime. Key limes come from
the Florida Keys, thus their name, and are smaller, more yellow and
contain more seeds than the green skinned Persian limes. The bad news
is they’re almost impossible to find fresh at your local market, but the
good news is Persian limes work just as well in this particular
recipe.
Ingredients½ cup fresh lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
4 teaspoons grated lime zest
4 egg yolks
1 – 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
8 3” tart shells
Preparation1. It’s easiest to remove the lime zest from whole limes so start with that.
2. Cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice being careful to not include any seeds.
3. Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl until tinted light green. This takes about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in the milk, then juice and set aside at room temp till it thickens.
5. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
6. Pour mixture into tart crusts, bake for 5 minutes until the center is set, but still wiggles when shaken.
7. Remove from the oven and cool to room temp.
8. Refrigerate for at least three hours until well chilled.
9. Serve with whipped cream topping and decorate with a lime wedge.

Key Lime Pie with a Pretzel Crust
INGREDIENTS FOR THE CRUST
1 cup + 2 Tbsp. pretzel crumbs
3 Tbsp. sugar
7 Tbsp. butter (melted)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9" pan with non-stick baking spray.
Crush the pretzels until very fine; processing in a food processor for about 30 seconds works well.
Add the sugar and melted butter, mixing to combine; you can do this right in the food processor.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; the crust won't change color much, but will firm up. Remove from the oven and make the filling.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE FILLING
½ cup fresh lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
4 tsp. grated lime zest
4 egg yolks
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
It's easiest to remove the lime zest from whole limes so start with that.
Cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice being careful to not include any seeds.
Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl until tinted light green. This takes about 2 minutes.
Beat in the milk, then juice and set aside at room temp till it thickens. Pour into the crust and smooth with a spatula.

the pie for 28 to 32 minutes, until the filling is set, with a small
spot in the middle still soft looking. Cool for several hours before
