How to Make Lime Tart

  1. **Make the Crust:** In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and 1/2 cup ice water. Mix until a dough forms.
  2. **Chill the Dough:** Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
  3. **Roll and Shape:** Let the dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 14-inch round. Transfer to a 12-inch springform pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides, ensuring it comes up about 2 inches.
  4. **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).
  5. **Make the Filling:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, and the zest of 3 limes.
  6. **Add Butter:** Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until well combined.
  7. **Pour & Decorate:** Pour the lime filling into the prepared crust. Arrange lime slices decoratively on top.
  8. **Bake:** Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. A slight jiggle in the center is okay.
  9. **Cool & Serve:** Let the tart cool completely to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
