Step-by-Step Instructions for Kiwi Lime Tarts
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add a large egg, mixing until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Cut into rounds to fit mini tart shells, pressing gently into the bottom and sides. Chill again for 1 hour. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake the tart shells for 12 minutes with weights, then remove weights and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until golden and set. Allow to cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together fresh kiwi juice, egg yolks, a whole egg, granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened and it coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, add butter, and stir until melted. Let the curd cool slightly before use.
- Gently spoon the warm kiwi lime curd into the cooled mini tart shells. Make sure each shell is filled evenly for a consistent presentation. Once filled, place the tarts in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
- Before serving your delightful kiwi lime tarts, garnish with fresh kiwi slices for a beautiful and refreshing finish.
