Ingredients
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed
TART SHELLS:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
White chocolate curls and lime peel strips

Steps:

In a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, sugar, lime juice and peel until blended. Add butter; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Transfer to a small bowl; cool. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
In a small bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add flour; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Shape dough into 1-in. balls; press onto the bottom and up the sides of 36 ungreased miniature muffin cups. Prick bottoms with a fork. Bake at 375° for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Fill shells with lime mixture. Garnish with chocolate curls and lime peel. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2 dozen.
