A little tart

.
I am feeling the urge for something with a citrus kick to it today.


So when I saw this tasty looking Lime Tart at YumSugar it seemed to fit perfectly!

Easter Lime Tart
Modified from Food Network

For the crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
Drop of green food colouring
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Grated zest of 1 lime
1 cup crema or crème fraiche
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 lime, thinly sliced, for garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl. Press into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure the sides and the bottom are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
3. For the filling: In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the lime juice, green food colouring, cream cheese and condensed milk.
4. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the work bowl often. Add the lime zest and process to mix thoroughly.
5. Pour into the pie shell and place in the refrigerator.
6. In a bowl, using a whisk, beat the crema and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture over the top of the pie, creating peaks evenly over the surface.
7. Garnish with the lime slices. Cover and chill for 4 to 6 hours or overnight before serving.
