Graham Cracker Crust
3 tablespoons Florida sugar
2 cups graham crackers, crushed to fine crumb
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Key Lime Tart Filling
½ cup fresh squeezed or bottled Florida Key lime juice
3 teaspoons fresh citrus zest (lime, orange, grapefruit, tangerine)
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4 large Florida egg yolks
Florida Strawberry Topping
2 cups Florida strawberries, topped and sliced thin (plus extra if needed)
½ cup orange marmalade
¼ cup water
A sprinkle of powdered sugar, to taste
Graham Cracker Crust
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar. Stir ingredients to combine. Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool completely. Set aside.
Key Lime Pie Filling
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, Key lime juice and citrus zest. Use a whisk to make sure all ingredients are combined (the combined ingredients will naturally thicken slightly.) Pour Key lime pie filling mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake pie for 10 to 15 minutes or until the pastry looks almost set. Remove pie from oven and let cool to room temperature. Cover pie and place in the refrigerator as it is best served cold.
Florida Strawberry Topping
Heat the orange marmalade and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until completely melted. Arrange the sliced strawberries in a fun pattern over the top of the Key lime tart. Using a pastry brush, brush a light layer of melted orange marmalade over the sliced strawberry pattern. Let cool. Garnish with powdered sugar before serving.
