Creamy, sweet, and tangy with a perfect graham cracker crust – this Key Lime Tart is everything you want in a spring dessert!
Happy Wednesday friends! Or as my very animated toddler would so adorably say, “Hump deeyy!” in a low tone, trying her very hardest to imitate the way mama said it. It really is the cutest.
I hope you have been enjoying all the spring sweets recipes the past couple of days. There are SO many amazing treats, and we are only half-way through the week. I bet you have a list you want to make already, don’t you? Same girl, same. I don’t know how I’ll ever get to make all of them, but you can bet I’ll try my best!
I had such a good time making all the recipes for this week, but this key lime tart stole my heart. That creamy, tart, key lime filling, a buttery graham cracker crust, and fresh whipped cream, lime and raspberries on top. Yep. It has my name alllll over it.
I am not typically a crust fan. I know, I know…I’m a strange one. But this graham cracker crust is light, with just a hint of buttery sweetness that I can totally get on board with. Instead of, you know, just eating the filling like I would nomally do.
Oh, and it’s actually a pretty simple dessert to prepare. I mean, you have to wait a bit for it to chill BUT the preparation itself is pretty quick.
How is a key lime tart made?
1 – Mix up and bake the graham cracker crust for 10 minutes.
2 – Mix the key lime filling (juice, zest, sweetened condensed milk) and pour it into the cooled crust.
3 – Bake for 15 minutes at 325. Allow to cool and then chill for at least 3 hours.
4 – Mix up your whipped cream and serve the key lime tart with that, lime zest and slices, and raspberries!
It’s thanks to our amazing sponsors, like Dixie Crystals, who provide us with top quality ingredients to use in our creation of recipes to share with you all. Sugar in the crust, sugar in the whipped cream – top to bottom delciousness!
