Lime Tartlets Recipe

Prep: 40 min. Bake: 10 min. + chilling

Yield: 4 Servings

40 10 50

Ingredients

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup cold butter
1 egg yolk
1-1/2 teaspoons cold water
FILLING:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon grated lime peel
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons butter
Whipped cream

Directions

In a small bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. Divide into four portions.
Press dough onto the bottoms and up the sides of four ungreased 4-in. fluted tart pans with removable bottoms. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add the cream, lime juice and peel; stir until blended. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and butter. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Spoon into tart shells.
Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Garnish with whipped cream. Yield: 4 tarts.
