Quantity Ingredient
2 Eggs
1/4 Lime (juice and rind of)
4 Pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup Heavy cream
1/2 cup Powdered sugar
1/2 cup Butter
2 Eggs (for pastry)
3/4 tsp Salt
9 Macadamia nuts (finely ground)
1 Pie crust (9-inch round)
1 Creme fraiche (optional)
1 Yogurt (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Prepare Pastry:

    • In a bowl, sift together the flour and sugar.
    • Add the butter to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingers until it resembles fine crumbs.
    • Mix in one egg and salt until a smooth dough forms.
    • Lightly knead the dough on a floured surface and shape it into a flat round.
    • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  3. Roll Out Pastry:

    • After refrigeration, roll out the dough on a floured surface.
    • Line a 9-inch loose-bottomed round tart pan with the pastry.
    • Prick the pastry with a fork and chill for an additional 20 minutes.
  4. Blind Bake Pastry:

    • Line the pastry with parchment paper and fill with baking beans.
    • Blind bake the pastry for 10 minutes.
    • Remove the parchment paper and baking beans, then return the pastry to the oven for 10 more minutes or until lightly golden.
    • Once done, remove from the oven and set aside.
  5. Prepare Filling:

    • In a bowl, beat the eggs with powdered sugar until well combined.
    • Carefully stir in the lime rind, lime juice, vanilla extract, finely ground macadamia nuts, and heavy cream until smooth.
  6. Bake Tart:

    • Pour the filling over the baked pastry crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
    • Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
    • Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  7. Glaze the Tart:

    • Preheat the broiler.
    • Sift a thick layer of powdered sugar over the surface of the tart.
    • Place the tart under the broiler until the sugar forms a beautiful glaze.
    • Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Serve:

    • Before serving, sprinkle a small amount of powdered sugar over the tart for an extra touch of sweetness.
    • Optionally, serve slices of the tart with a dollop of creme fraiche or yogurt for added creaminess.
