Directions
- 1
Crush the plain shortbread biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a zip-lock bag and rolling with a pin.
- 2
Combine the crumbs with softened margarine and mix until the texture resembles wet sand that holds together when pressed.
- 3
Press the mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan and bake at 200 °C (390 °F) for 5 minutes. Allow to cool completely before filling.
- 4
Stand the lemon biscuits upright around the inner edge of the pan to create a decorative border.
- 5
Blend the condensed milk, 200 ml cream and lime juice in a blender for 1 minute until thick and smooth. Pour over the cooled crust and set aside.
- 6
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval. Stir in the remaining 200 ml of cream until you have a glossy, smooth ganache.
- 7
Gently pour the white chocolate ganache over the lime cream layer, spreading it evenly.
- 8
Scatter lime zest over the top and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before unmoulding and serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
For the best results, make this tart the night before — chilling overnight allows the layers to set beautifully and the flavours to deepen. Substitute lime juice with lemon juice for a softer, more floral flavour profile.
