Sweet but tangy Key Lime Tarts to kick start Spring!
THIS! This is now my new favorite dessert! You know how much I love tarts but seriously these Key Lime Tarts are THE BEST!
Hi guys! So glad that Friday is almost here, it has been a long week! With an extra day at work and one of the kiddos being sick, I am a little tired.
But not from making these tarts!
I actually made these twice. The first time was a few weeks ago for the family. My hubby suggested that maybe the next time I make them to increase the key lime flavor just a bit.
The second time I made them was when I was in North Carolina visiting my family. I decided to try these out on them. The problem what was this. I increased the key lime flavor but didn’t put enough sugar. OOPS! Sorry Mom! They were lip puckering tart but I stilled enjoyed them!

Psh, I love sour stuff so I would be okay with the smaller amount of sugar! And all that whipped cream… Yummy!

Lip puckering tart is my favorite kind of Key Lime pie! Key limes are one of my favorite summer flavors and always remind me of the beach. These are beautiful!

I like my citrus desserts tart too. I’m all about a good pucker when it comes to the end of a meal. That said, your tarts look lovely. The color, and they way you’ve decorated them is really pretty!

I adore everything with puff pastry – so light and fast-to-cook. And lime flavor is my soul 🙂 I’m not a fan of super sweet either. So, the recipe is just for me! Thank you!
