Instructions

Step 1

Equipment Hand held or standing mixer, 1, 9.5 x 1 inch Tart pan with removable bottom, large baking sheet

Step 2

For the crust Heat the oven to 350°F. Add the crushed graham crackers to a medium bowl, along with 6 tbs of melted butter. Stir everything together with a spoon until it begins to look like wet sand. If the mixture seems a bit dry, add the additional tablespoon of butter.

Step 3

Add the mixture to a tart pan and press the crumb mixture firmly onto the bottom and up sides of the tart pan. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove the crust from the oven and set aside to cool. Reduce oven’s heat to 325°F

Step 4

For the filling Add the 3 egg yolks + lime zest to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high for about 4 minutes.

Step 5

Stop the mixer and add the condensed milk to the yolks and beat for 4 minutes. Add the lime juice and cardamom, whisking by hand until combined.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the cooled crust and place in the oven. Bake the tart for about 25 minutes. The tart is ready when the edges are set, and the center still jiggles ever so slightly.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator. Store in the fridge until fully chilled. Garnish with whipped cream before serving.

Step 8

Enjoy!!
