KEY LIME SHAMROCK TORTE

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 packages tofu firm silken
3/4 cup brown rice syrup
1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon agar powder
4 tablespoons arrowroot
2 tablespoons corn oil
1 carob cake, see recipe, on software
2 kiwi fruits
Glaze:
1 teaspoon agar powder
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown rice syrup
2 drops peppermint extract

Steps:

  • Blend the tofu, brown rice syrup, honey, lime juice, agar, arrowroot & corn oil until smooth. Transfer to a double boiler & heat till the mixture thickens. It should reach the consistency of heavy cream. Set aside to cool. Split the carob cake into 2 layers (you'll need only 1 layer). Line a 9-inch cake pan with a sheet of plastic wrap. Place one layer of cake in the bottom of the pan & refrigerate while the filling is cooling. When the filling is cool, pour it into the cake & refrigerate until the filling sets completely (about 2 hours). Peel the kiwi fruit, cut it into thin slices & fan out the slices over the entire torte. Glaze if desired by pouring a thin layer of still warm glaze over the cool cake. Refrigerate the cake again for 10 minutes before cutting it. To serve, remove the cake from the pan by lifting out on the plastic wrap. GLAZE: In a small pot, dissolve the agar in the water. Add brown rice syrup & mint extract. Bring to a simmer & remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.

KEY LIME TART



Key Lime Tart image

Equal parts creamy and tart, this spin on the classic Key lime pie works just as well with traditional limes as it does with the smaller, sweeter variety.

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 8

9 to 10 graham crackers (each 2 1/2 by 5 inches)
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 4 to 6 limes), or fresh or bottled key-lime juice
4 large egg yolks
Pinch salt
Slivered lime zest, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Process graham crackers and 2 tablespoons sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs form; add butter. Process until combined. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; pat into bottom and up sides. Place pan on a baking sheet, and bake until crust is fragrant and slightly colored, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, lime juice, egg yolks, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and salt; whisk until smooth. Pour mixture into crust (warm or cool is fine), leaving 1/8 inch at the top; return to oven. Bake until filling is set around edge but still slightly loose in center, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Cool completely at room temperature; then refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Serve, garnished with zest, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before you start making the torte. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream. If you overbeat it, it will become grainy.
  • Chill the torte for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the torte to set.
  • Garnish with lime zest or a shamrock cookie before serving.

Conclusion:

This Key Lime Shamrock Torte is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for parties or potlucks.
