CHOCOLATE LIME AND BLUEBERRY TART

here I am with my version of this non-bake tart with strong natural colour and a particular acid flavour thanks to the fresh lime juice.

I’m sure that the first thing we all think when we look at the pictures of this post is “wow, look at that bright purple colour”, and no, it’s not photoshopped. But that’s not just the only cool thing about this tart, it has also an amazing combination of melted chocolate and crumbled digestives in the crust.

I also have to warn you that this tart has a quite strong acid flavour because of the limes, but it works so well with dark chocolate. you really need to try it.

anything else to say, a part of bye summer..I’ll miss you so f much.

let’s bake!

crust
In a medium saucepan melt the butter with the dark chocolate and set aside.
In a food processor, process the digestives until it’s like sand.

squeeze all the limes and set them aside.
pour the blueberries into a food processor and process them until look like a paste.
pass this paste through a strainer and make sure you take out all the liquid possible.
in a medium saucepan with the lime juice with the egg yolks, sugar and sift cornstarch.
place the saucepan on medium-high heat and don’t stop stirring until you see a kind of custard texture coming out.
pour the mixture on the top of the crust and leave it in the fridge minimum 8hrs.
put on the top the remaining blueberries to decorate it.

· tips ·
if you don’t like blueberries you can change them to blackberries or also strawberries.
you can also change the limes for lemons, but I particularly like the acid flavour of lime in this recipe mixed with the blueberries.

enjoy!
