Agave Key Lime Tart Food

AGAVE KEY LIME TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in the center of the oven.
• For the crust: Place the flour in a bowl and whisk in salt. Add butter and blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the agave nectar. Work mixture with fingertips until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Do not overwork the dough.
• Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Press the dough firmly and evenly into the tart pan. Press the pastry in where the sides meet the bottom to make a right angle or the dough will be too thick there. Prick the dough in several places with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake until the dough is set, about 12 to 14 minutes.
• For the filling: While the tart shell is baking, whisk the agave nectar, eggs and key lime juice.
• When the shell is ready, pull the baking sheet out while still on the oven rack and pour in the filling without removing the pie crust from the oven. Slowly slide the rack back in and reduce the heat to 350 degrees. Bake until the filling is firm and just set in the center, about 25 to 35 minutes. Cool and serve.

EASY KEY LIME PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in milk and lime juice until blended. Transfer to crust. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours. Just before serving, garnish with whipped topping and, if desired, lime slices.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine graham-cracker crumbs, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl; mix well. Press into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
• Lower oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, Key lime juice, and zest. Pour into the prepared, cooled crust.
• Return pie to oven, and bake until the center is set but still quivers when the pan is nudged, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Shortly before serving, combine cream and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon over cooled pie; garnish with zest. Serve immediately.
