This lime tart is a prettier version of Key lime pie, complete with a delicious graham cracker crust and tangy whipped topping.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup ground almonds
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • FILLING:
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated lime zest
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, almonds and sugar. Press onto bottom and up sides of a greased 9-in. tart pan. Bake until edge is lightly browned, 15-18 minutes.

This treat is the perfect balance between tart and sweet, and the almonds in the crust are just wonderful. This is one of my husband’s favorite desserts. Enjoy! —Charis O'Connell, Mohnton, Pennsylvania
