Lime Cheesecake Tartlets*

By RJamoralin

By Michael Lewicki

These tarlets are creamy, slightly tart and burst with citrus flavour. Every bite is as good as the one before it and you can taste the bits of lime zest and juice as soon as the fork hits your tongue. If spring were a dessert it would be these Lime Cheesecake Tartlets.

• 1 stick butter, melted
• 225 grams cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Grease 4 tartlet pans (4 1/2") with removable bases. Process the graham crackers until they feel like fine breadcrumbs.

2. Add in the butter and process until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the tartlet bases and up the sides. Cover and refrigerate and prep the rest.

3. Using a small bowl, beat the cheese, sugar, zest and lime juice with an electric mixer until smooth.

4. In a different bowl, beat the cream with the mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in the cream cheese mixture a bit at a time until combined. Spoon the mixture into the tartlet shells and cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
