How to Make Lime And Macadamia Tart
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the pastry: In a bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup granulated sugar. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1 large egg and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until a smooth dough forms.
- Lightly knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough and fit it into a 9-inch loose-bottomed tart pan. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the weights and parchment paper. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the pastry bakes, prepare the filling: In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the zest and juice of 2 limes, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup finely ground macadamia nuts, and 1 cup heavy cream.
- Carefully pour the filling into the pre-baked tart shell, ensuring an even surface.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Heat your broiler. Sift a generous layer of powdered sugar over the tart.
- Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the sugar forms a beautiful glaze (watch carefully to prevent burning).
- Before serving, dust with a light dusting of powdered sugar and serve with a dollop of yogurt or crème fraîche.
