Simply Sweet & Tangy Lemon Biscuit Tart
It's a light and fluffy treat that feels like eating lemony air!
Ingredients
- 2 tins condensed milk
- 500 ml cream Whipped slightly
- ½ cup lime juice
- 1 tbsp lime rind
Instructions
- Method:
- Prepare a dish of your choice by spraying it with Cook & Spray and lining with baking paper or cling wrap
- In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk with the lime juice 5 ml at a time and mixing thoroughly after each addition. Taste as you go, and stop when the mixture reaches your desired level of tanginess. The lime juice will curdle the condensed milk, making it lighter in colour and texture. The mixture should be tangy but pleasant to eat on its own. Fold in the whipped cream carefully. Set aside.
- In your prepared dish, layer the lime mixture, followed by a layer of tennis biscuits. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of biscuits.Crumble any leftover biscuits and set aside.
- Place the tart in the freezer for 2 hours to set, or refrigerate for about 4 hours.Once set, turn the tart upside down into a serving dish and remove the cling wrap or baking paper.Sprinkle with leftover biscuit crumbs and optional any trimmings like shivers of lime rind.
- Serve with icecream if desired.Enjoy this refreshing dessert, perfect for any occasion.
