Ingredients

Almond Crust

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup whole almonds
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar also known as confectioners sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter cut into pieces, chilled
  • 2 teaspoons chilled water

White Chocolate Lime Filling

  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream divided use
  • 5 ounces chopped white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

Strawberry Topping

  • 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons currant jelly

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 it 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.

Notes

Make ahead: The tart can be made up to 24 hours ahead without the strawberries, covered, and stored in the refrigerator. Sliced strawberries can be added earlier the day of serving.
