Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter or margarine, cut into pieces, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
4 egg yolks
2/3 cup Key lime juice
1 teaspoon grated Key lime or regular lime peel
1 or 2 drops green food color, if desired
1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped
Key lime or regular lime slices, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In food processor, place flour, butter, powdered sugar and salt. Cover; process, using quick on-and-off motions, until dough forms a ball. Press dough firmly and evenly in bottom and up side of ungreased 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Place chocolate chips in small bowl. In small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup whipping cream over medium heat just until hot. Pour over chocolate chips; let stand 2 minutes. Gently stir until smooth. Pour into partially baked crust, spreading to edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm.
  • In medium bowl, mix condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice, lime peel and food color with whisk until blended. Pour filling over chocolate layer.
  • Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 2 hours. Cover; refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours but no longer than 2 days. Garnish with whipped cream and lime slices. Store covered in refrigerator.
