I've been making lemon tart for years now & one day whilst thinking about flavours (as you do!) I thought how nice a lime one would be, so I tried one. Then I thought how nice it would be with some basil. It has a really zingy zesty flavour & a really delicate texture. I really like it with fresh coconut ice cream.
Ingredients
4 Limes (zest & juice)
180grm Caster sugar
3 Eggs
200ml Double cream
12-15 Fresh basil leaves
Method
Line a tart case 20-25cm with sweet pastry. Blind bake until the pastry is cooked, allow to
cool slightly.
Place lime zest & juice into a suitable mixing bowl, whisk in the sugar.
Whisk in the cream & then add the eggs & whisk. Lastly stir in the shreaded basil leaves.
Carefully pour into a blind baked pastry case
Bake at 180°C gas 5 until just set, approximately 30-40 mins.
Glaze if desired with icing sugar & hot grill or blow torch
Enjoy!
