How To Make sweet and tart lime chiffon custard tart
-
Step 1Preheat the oven to 350F.
-
Step 2Mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter thoroughly. This is most easily done by using a food processor to make the crumbs. Then pour in the butter and pulse a few times to mix.
-
Step 3Set aside about 1/4 of the buttered crumbs. Make an even layer of 3/4 of the crumbs in a greased, 7" x 12" glass baking pan or similar lasagna pan.
-
Step 4Beat the egg whites until stiff.
-
Step 5In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and the salt. Thoroughly mix in the sweetened condensed milk.
-
Step 6Add the lime juice to the egg yolk mixture. Stir gently for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and thick.
-
Step 7Fold in the egg whites, continuing to fold until the egg whites are thoroughly incorporated but keep the mixture as airy as possible.
-
Step 8Pour the filling mixture on top of the crumbs and spread to even. Distribute the reserved 1/4 of the crumbs on top of the filling.
-
Step 9Put the tart into the middle of the 350 oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the tart comes out clean or an instant read thermometer shows an internal temperature of 175F.
-
Step 10Allow to cool to room temperature. It will collapse slightly. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
