Ingredients

• 200 grams Graham crackers
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 395 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 120 ml Key lime juice
• 2 teaspoons Key lime zest
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 200 grams Fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 120 ml Whipping cream (for optional garnish)
• 1 handful Fresh mint leaves (optional garnishing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a food processor, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs.

Step 3

Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 4

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to ensure it's firmly packed.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, key lime zest, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake the tart for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the filling is just set. It should jiggle slightly when gently shaken.

Step 9

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up.

Step 10

Meanwhile, toss the fresh blueberries with powdered sugar in a small bowl to coat them lightly in sweetness.

Step 11

Once the tart has chilled, garnish the top with the sugared blueberries. For a decorative touch, add whipped cream dollops and fresh mint leaves if desired.

Step 12

Slice the tart into wedges and serve cold for a refreshing and tangy treat.
