Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • For the filling:
  • 3/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime zest
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
  • For the garnish:
  • Whipped cream
  • Lime zest

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well until all the crumbs are coated with butter.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth and compact the crust.
  4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lime zest, sugar, and egg yolks. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
  7. Stir in the crystallized ginger.
  8. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
  9. Bake the tart for 15-20 minutes or until the filling is set.
  10. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
  11. Once completely cooled, refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
  12. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and sprinkle some lime zest on top.
  13. Slice and serve the ginger lime tart, and enjoy!
