A refreshing Kiwi and Lime Curd Tart that combines zesty citrus flavors with a buttery tart shell and fresh kiwi slices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
- 1 large egg (yolk and white separated)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp ice-cold water
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for curd)
- 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
- Finely grated zest of 3 limes
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from about 5 limes)
- 4 large eggs (for curd)
- 5 kiwis (peeled and sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare the tart dough by mixing flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until small.
- Whisk the egg yolk, vanilla, and ice-cold water in a bowl. Combine with the dough mixture.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap in parchment, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough and place it in a tart pan.
- Blind bake for 15 minutes with weights, then remove weights and bake until golden brown, about 10 more minutes.
- Make the lime curd by heating sugar, butter, lime zest, and juice until melted.
- Whisk eggs, temper with curd mixture, and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Chill the curd in a bowl for at least 2 hours.
- Assemble the tart by pouring the chilled lime curd into the cooled tart shell and topping with kiwi slices.
- Chill the tart in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cold for a flaky crust. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing.
