Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

  3. Divide the crumb mixture among the prepared muffin tin cups, pressing the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.

  4. Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.

  6. Add the lime juice and lime zest to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth and slightly thickened.

  7. Pour the lime filling into each crust, filling almost to the top.

  8. Bake the tarts for 15-20 minutes or until the filling is just set. The centers may still be slightly wobbly but will firm up as they cool.

  9. Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. Once cooled, refrigerate the tarts for at least 2 hours to chill and set.

  11. Serve the Lime Tarts topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a slice of lime for garnish.
