Blueberry Key Lime Tart Recipes

BLUEBERRY KEY LIME TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• TO MAKE THE CRUST:.
• Mix the ingredients and press them into a 9" removable bottom tart pan or 9" pie plate. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned. Place on a rack to cool. Reduce the oven heat to 325°F.
• TO MAKE THE FILLING:.
• Whisk together the the egg yolks, condensed milk, and lime juice and zest until well blended; the mixture will thicken almost immediately. Pour into the crust and bake for 18-20 minutes, till just set. Remove from the oven, and cool at room temperature for several hours before topping.
• TO MAKE THE TOPPING:.
• Rinse the berries, and set aside all but 3/4 cup to dry. Stir together the water or fruit juice, salt, lime juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium-sized saucepan set over medium heat, cooking till the sugar has dissolved. Add the 3/4 cup berries, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, pour over the reserved beries and spoon onto the cooled tart.
• Chill for several hours.

FROZEN MINI BLUEBERRY KEY LIME PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup standard-size muffin tin with paper liners.
• Place graham crackers in a gallon-size zip bag and seal. Using a sturdy glass or a rolling pin, crush until they're crumb consistency. Pour into a medium bowl and add the sugar. Stir to combine. Pour in the melted butter. Stir until combined. Add one heaping tablespoonful to each muffin cup. Using your clean fingers or the bottom of a small glass, press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of the cup.
• Bake crusts for about 4 minutes, until the crust has hardened a bit. Remove from oven and set aside to cool completely. I'm usually impatient and let them sit on the counter for about 5 minutes then off to the freezer for another 5 minutes to finish cooling.
• To the pitcher of a high-speed blender, add cashews, lime zest, lime juice, avocado, coconut cream, and 1/2 cup agave nectar. Puree until completely smooth, 1-2 minutes. Taste and add additional agave nectar until the filling has reached the sweet/tart balance that you prefer.
• Remove 1/2 cup of the filling and set aside.
• Divide remaining filling among the cups and shake a bit to level them.
• Add the 1/2 cup reserved filling back to the blender along with the 3/4 cup blueberries. Puree, scraping the sides if needed, until smooth.
• Pour a bit of the blueberry filling on top of each mini pie. Use a toothpick to swirl the blueberry top over the key lime filling.
• Transfer to freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
• To serve, remove tin from freezer and let sit for 10 minutes. Carefully use a butter knife to pry the mini pies out of the tin. Peel off the liner and set on your serving tray or plates. Garnish as desired and serve at once.
