Instructions
Almond Crust
- In a food processor, combine the flour, almonds, powdered sugar and salt and process until nuts are ground.
- Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles corn meal.
- Slowly blend in 2 teaspoons of water until mixture begins to clump.
- Gather mixture into a ball in your hands, then press dough over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake crust for 15 minutes or until golden brown, shielding edges with pie shields or aluminum foil if browning too quickly. Cool on a wire rack.
White Chocolate Lime Filling
- To make the filling: In a small bowl, pour in lime juice and sprinkle with gelatin. Let soften for 10 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1/4 cup whipping cream to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, add white chocolate and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin mixture. Stir in lime zest.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and refrigerate 35 to 40 minutes or until cold and just beginning to thicken.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar, sour cream, and remaining 1/2 cup whipping cream with an electric mixer to medium-stiff peaks. Fold whipped cream mixture into chilled white chocolate mixture; spread evenly over crust. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or until set.
Strawberry Topping
- Before serving, arrange sliced berries decoratively on top.
- In a small saucepan or bowl in the microwave, melt jelly over low heat and brush over top of berries.
