Categories     dessert

Time 4h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 tablespoon lime zest (from 2 to 3 limes)
2 large egg yolks
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the tart pan
8 ounces cubed ripe mango
1/4 cup lime juice (from 3 to 4 limes)
4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (2 packets)
One 13.5-ounce can coconut milk (about 1 3/4 cups)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 ripe mango
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon tequila blanco
Zest of 1 lime plus 1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • For the lime shortbread crust: Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Add the flour, granulated sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times to combine. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until the butter breaks down into small, uniform-size pieces, about the size of small pebbles. Add the lime zest and egg yolks and process a few more seconds or until the mixture looks like wet sand; the dough will not come together into a ball.
  • Spray a 9-inch nonstick tart pan lightly with cooking spray, making sure to spray the sides of the pan as well as the bottom. Pour the dough into the tart pan and spread evenly. Using your hands, press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. To prevent any dough from falling out of the pan, place your left thumb over the top of the pan along the crust and press the dough up the sides with your right pointer finger. This way, you will tightly pack the dough along the sides with your pointer finger and stop it at the top of the pan with your left thumb. Continue to press the dough into the pan and along the sides until it is tightly packed and evenly distributed. Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork all over and then place the tart pan on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until the sides of the crust are a deep golden brown and the crust bottom is light golden brown on top, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • For the mango filling: Add the mango and lime juice to a blender and puree on high speed for 1 minute until completely smooth. Hold in the blender.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the gelatin and 1/2 cup of the coconut milk. Let stand 5 minutes. As the gelatin rehydrates, the coconut milk will begin to look curdled; don't worry--it isn't.
  • Set a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the granulated sugar, salt and remaining coconut milk (about 1 1/4 cups). Stir the mixture together and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the sugar melts completely; the coconut milk will become opaque. Remove from the heat and immediately whisk in the gelatin mixture. until completely melted. Strain the mango mixture into the coconut milk mixture and whisk again to combine. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Using a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mango filling and then pour the entire filling into the cooled tart crust; the filling will come to the very top of the crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set the filling completely. You can make the tart up to this point 1 day in advance.
  • For the tequila-lime glaze: Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack. Cut the 2 larger sides of the mango off of the pit, followed by the 2 smaller sides. Peel the 4 pieces of mango, then cut them into 1/4-inch half-moon slices.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner' sugar, tequila and lime juice. Dip each slice of mango into the glaze and coat completely. Let drip dry over the bowl for a few seconds, then lay the mango pieces on the cooling rack for at least 15 minutes for the glaze to set.
  • When ready to serve, remove the tart from the tart pan and place on a cake stand. Lay the mango slices in a circle around the tart, setting aside the smallest slice for later; the mango slices will meet in the center of the tart and then fan out overlapping each other around the tart. Roll the reserved mango slice into a rosette and place in the center of the tart. Garnish with the lime zest and serve immediately.

Categories     Tequila     Food Processor     Dessert     Bake     Cinco de Mayo     Lime     Summer     Party     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

For crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons sugar
For filling
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup tequila
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon sugar
Whipped cream (optional)
Fresh lime slices (optional)

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Blend all ingredients in processor until small clumps form. Press mixture onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. (Can be made 1 day ahead; chill.)
  • Make filling:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Stir condensed milk and next 3 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Set condensed milk mixture aside.
  • Using electric mixer, beat egg whites with sugar in large bowl until soft peaks form. Using rubber spatula, gently fold 1 1/2 cups condensed milk mixture into whites. Fold remaining milk mixture into whites until just incorporated.
  • Pour mixture into prepared crust. Bake until filling puffs up slightly and tester inserted into center comes out with some moist filling attached, about 40 minutes. Cool tart completely on rack. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours. Garnish tart with whipped cream and lime slices.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh limes. The zest and juice of fresh limes will give your tart a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the crust by hand. Simply combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl and then use your fingers to work in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Don't overmix the crust. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the crust for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking.
  • Bake the crust until it is golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Let the crust cool completely before filling it. This will help to prevent the filling from cracking.
  • For the filling, use a high-quality tequila. A good tequila will give your tart a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before making the filling. This will help to ensure a smooth filling.
  • Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. This will take about 2 minutes.
  • Gradually add the tequila and lime juice to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined.
  • Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Chill the tart for at least 4 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

This tequila lime tart is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. The combination of tequila, lime, and cream cheese is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this tequila lime tart a try. You won't be disappointed!
