Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients for the crust:
- 200 g butter (at room temperature)
- 300 g chocolate cookie crumbs or almond flour (for a more intense flavor, opt for chocolate cookie crumbs)
- 50 g sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of the crumbs)
- 1 egg (to bind the mixture)

Ingredients for the filling:
- 4 limes (juice and grated zest)
- 397 g condensed milk (one can)
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the crust. In a large bowl, add the softened butter and mix with a mixer until creamy. Add the cookie crumbs and sugar (if using) and mix until you get a homogeneous mixture.

2. Add the egg and continue mixing until the mixture becomes compact. If it is too dry, you can add a little milk to make it more pliable.

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a tart pan with a little butter and press the crust mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan, forming an even crust. Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes or until it turns lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a bowl, combine the lime juice and grated zest with the condensed milk and eggs. Mix well until homogeneous. Add the sugar and mix again.

5. Pour the lime filling over the cooled crust and level the surface. Bake the tart for another 15-20 minutes or until the filling sets and becomes slightly firm.

6. Once the tart is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. You can serve it plain or with a dollop of whipped cream on top for a delicious contrast.

Practical tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve an even mixture.
- You can substitute lime juice with lemon juice for a different flavor, but limes provide a more exotic taste.
- If you want a fluffier tart, you can add a beaten egg white to the filling before baking.
- The lime tart can also be served with a berry sauce or slices of kiwi for an attractive presentation.

This lime tart is not only a quick dessert but also a refined option for any occasion. Combining the acidity of the limes with the sweetness of the condensed milk, you achieve a perfect balance of flavors that will delight any palate. So, get ready to impress with this simple and delicious recipe!
