Key Lime Tartlets with Graham Cracker-Pretzel Crust and Fruit Garnish
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
For the Crust Blend Together:
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup pretzel crumbs
2 Tbs sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Tartlet Filling Whisk:
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup bottled Key lime juice
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
For the Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
4 ounces white chocolate, finely minced
For the Fruit Garnish Toss Together:
1/2 cup mango, finely diced
1/2 cup kiwi, finely diced
1/2 cup strawberries, finely diced
1. For the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°. Spray each tart pan with nonstick
cooking spray; set aside. Place graham cracker crumbs in a small mixing
bowl. Place pretzels in a heavy resealable plastic bag and crush with a
rolling pin. Bit should not be larger than 1/4 inch.
2. Add pretzel crumbs, sugar, and butter to the graham cracker crumbs; blend
until moistened. Divide crumbs among pans, about 1/4 cup each. Firmly press
crumbs on the bottom and up the sides of the tartlet pans. Be sure crumbs go
all the way up the sides, otherwise filling will slosh over, underneath the
crust. Do not dock.
3. Place the tartlet pans on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, or until
golden around the edges. The crusts may puff up[ during cooking. If they do,
push them down with a spoon after removing them from the oven. Cool the
crusts in the pans before filling and baking.
4. For the FIlling: Whisk together egg yolks, lime juice, and sweetened
condensed milk in a mixing bowl (it will thicken a little bit within a few
minutes of mixing. Ladle about 1/4 cup filling into each cooled tartlet
shell.
5. Bake tartlets 7 minutes to lightly set. Test with your finger--it'll be
slightly gelled and will stick a little to your finger. Cool, then chill in
pans 8 to 10 hours, or preferably overnight, to completely set the filling.
6. For the White Chocolate Whipped Cream: Simmer heavy cream in a small
saucepan. Off heat, stir in white chocolate until smooth. Transfer to a
medium mixing bowl; chill until very cold. (Base may be made one day ahead).
7. Just before serving, whip the chilled white chocolate cream by hand until
soft peaks form. Do not use a hand mixer--it's too easy to oeverbeat the
cream. FInely dice the mango, kiwi, and strawberries; toss fruit together.
8. To Serve: Remove sides and bottoms from chilled tartlets; place on
serving plates. Dollop the tartlets with the whipped cream, then top with
some of the diced fruit. Serve cold.
