I have a lot of limes now, and the best thing that I can do is using them ^^. Using lime is a bit different from lemon as it has sharp tangy taste while lemon has a hint of sweetness. The first version of this tart was not as good as I expected, I tried to make it the main ingredient but the result is it too monotone, no depth in flavour and texture -*-. It's not hard to use with but it needs more flavour to make it shine. So, I took another chance, this time lime is not alone, it come with berry filling. Not a lot of amount but the berry filling add enough depth to this tart. I add another lime flavour in different texture "the curd". As the fist time I tried to pair the lime with white chocolate and hoped it would add enough richness but it's not. So curd with a lot of butter is a better choice, as it has egg and butter, both of them make the tart richer both in taste and texture. Making this kind of sweet is fun, esp. when I have enough time, haha. Actually each step is very easy to make, don't forget to plan it wisely as some part of them needs time to set before using. Serve this tart with a cup of black hot tea (the one with floral or citrus note) is the best companion. Lime Berry Tart Makes 6 (7cm tart) Lime White chocolate mousse 45g .....................
