Ingredients
- 250 gram gingernut biscuits
- 90 gram butter, melted
- 3 eggs
- 300 millilitre canned condensed milk
- 3/4 cup cream
- zest and juice 2 juicy limes
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a 20cm loose-bottom flan tin.
- 2Crush or process the biscuits to fine crumbs. Combine with the melted butter and press into the base and sides of the prepared tin. Place on a baking tray.

Notes
• You can swap the gingernut biscuits for chocolate or malt, if you prefer. • You will need about ⅓ cup lime juice for this recipe. • We finished ours with icing sugar and a little lime zest. Lime and ginger are also a great match for chocolate, so to take this tart to the next level, garnish with grated chocolate or a drizzle of rich chocolate sauce.
