Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

300g pack ginger nut biscuit
100g butter , melted
3 egg yolks
50g golden caster sugar
zest and juice 4 lime , plus thin lime slices (optional) to serve
zest juice 1 lemon
397g sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Tip the biscuits into a food processor and blitz to crumbs. Add the butter and pulse to combine. Tip the mix into a fluted rectangular tart tin, about 10 x 34cm (or 20cm round tin) and press into the base and up the sides right to the edge. Bake for 15 mins until crisp.
  • While the base is baking, tip the egg yolks, sugar, and lime and lemon zests into a bowl and beat with an electric whisk until doubled in volume. Pour in the condensed milk, beat until combined, then add the citrus juices.
  • Pour the mix into the tart case and bake for 20 mins until just set with a slight wobble in the centre. Leave to set completely, then remove from the tin, cool and chill. Serve in slices topped with thin lime slices, if you like.
