This zesty kiwi and lime tart is made in the style of American key lime pie. It makes for an impressive dessert but is actually very easy to make!
Kiwi and lime pie
Equipment
- Food processor
- 20cm tart or cake tin
- Large bowl
Ingredients
- 400 g biscuits, ginger nuts or digestives or a combination of the two
- 120 g unsalted butter melted
- 4 egg yolks
- 800 g tinned condensed milk
- Zest and juice of 4 largeor six small limes
- 4 - 5 kiwis (we used Zespri SunGold for their golden colour and sweet taste) sliced
Method
- Heat the oven to 170⁰c.
- To make the base, blitz the biscuits in a food processor to make a fine crumb. Mix in the melted butter with a wooden spoon and then tip the mixture into a loose bottomed, high sided 20cm tart tin or a cake tin. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the tin with the back of the wooden spoon. Put in the fridge to chill.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, condensed milk, lime zest and juice. Peel and slice two of the kiwis.
- Pour half of the lime mixture into the tart case, levelling it off. Place a layer of SunGold slices on top. Finish with the rest of the mixture, working carefully to achieve a tidy finish. If you have too much mixture you can use it as you would lemon curd, on ice cream, with yoghurt or on toast.
- Put the tin on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, until the filling is set but still wobbly.
- Cool, then chill for 2hours or overnight. Decorate with the remaining slices of kiwi.
