Ingredients

  • 22 shortbread cookies (such as Lorna Doones)
  • 3/4 cup macadamia nuts
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs plus yolk from 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup lime juice (grate peel before juicing limes)
  • 1 Tbsp grated lime peel
  • 5 Tbsp butter

Cooking Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9- or 10-in. tart pan with a removable bottom with nonstick spray.

Process cookies and nuts in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Add coconut and butter; process just to blend. Press firmly over bottom and up sides of pan.

Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Remove pan sides.

Lime Custard: In a heavy medium saucepan, whisk sugar and cornstarch to mix, then whisk in eggs and egg yolk until thoroughly blended. Whisk in milk and lime juice.

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often (don’t boil or custard may curdle). As custard thickens, about 10 minutes, stir constantly 3 to 5 minutes until thick enough to coat back of a metal spoon.

Remove from heat. Add peel and butter; stir until butter melts. Spread evenly in crust; top with berries. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours to set custard.
