Lime Tart

Flaky pastry isn’t de rigueur for sweet tarts, but I had some sour cream pastry dough in the freezer, so that was what I used. The dough was defrosted, rolled out and baked blind until golden, allowed to cool, and then filled with freshly made microwave lime curd. The flaky pastry worked surprisingly well with the filling, keeping its crispness even when covered with the hot curd. The top was dusted with vanilla sugar and caramelised with a mini blowtorch.

The whole process took mere minutes (excluding the baking time) – an easy dessert to have up your sleeve when you need something in a hurry!

PS: This tart works even better with shortcrust pastry – I just didn’t have any in the freezer at the time.

A lime dessert is one of my favorite things. Mmmmm. Can’t go past it. Key lime pie is my ‘go to’ dessert. This looks outstanding. Can I put in my order now for when we come in July ; )

it looks like you used the vanilla sugar sparingly, which is good, too much and the top turns to a sheet of toffee which pulls off the soft curd with the very first spoonful.
The question is how come your whole family are not the size of houses?

  Well, they might not be…but as for me, all I can say is, I didn’t get this size by breathing.. :)
  
  Don’t know if you recall, Moo, but the lime tarts were your suggestion..thank you!

Recipe Attribution

David Lebovitz wrote one of the best articles I've read on recipe attribution, and if you're a blogger who posts recipes, it's well worth a look.

In a nutshell, the ingredients of a recipe are not subject to copyright, but the text is, so always make sure you re-write the methodology in your own words, with any changes and modifications you've made. And always make sure to acknowledge the original source!
