Equipment
- 1 Food processor, rolling pin, or flat bottom cup
- 1 9” Tart pan with removable bottom
- 1 Cookie sheet
Ingredients
Crust
- 2.5 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup unsalted melted butter
- ⅔ cup lightly packed brown sugar
Filling
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (300 ml)
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 cup unsweetened greek yogurt
- ⅔ cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoon lime zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 fahrenheit.
- Finely crush graham crackers in food processor, or by pounding in a ziplock with a rolling pin or flat bottomed cup. There should be about 2.5 cups. Then, add to a bowl and combine melted butter and brown sugar. With a spatula, or your hands, mix together. The crust should form a crumbly consistency.
- Pour into tart pan. Work the crumble into the pan, firmly pressing it into all the nooks and crannies. Once done, place on a cookie sheet and place in oven and bake for 10-15 min or until toasted. Once removed, if you notice it has puffed up, use a flat bottomed cup or measuring cup to lightly press down.
- In another bowl add sweetened condensed milk, yolks, greek yogurt, lime juice, zest, and whisk until smooth. Pour filling into crust so it’s in line with the crust’s edge. Place back on the cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 12-15 mins. You will know it is done when the filling’s edge is slightly raised and the center still has a slight wobble.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely, then place in the fridge to chill for three hours or overnight. Enjoy chilled.
