Amanda, this is my camera, has an excellent macro feature that lets you get up close and personal without blurring.  ;D

Thermomixer, please anyone that can simplify a converted recipe please do so, am still new and learning so I'm sure there are steps that can be shortened etc, and I don't mind anyone noting those simplified steps, please bring it on!  :D

Thankyou isi, another one I'll be making, and thankyou Judy for your review and amendments, will find that handy.  I like the idea of using chicken or prawns, or chicken and prawns.  ;D

Maybe Thermomixer, but I just put the cubed butter in a glass jug in the microwave and set to defrost for 2 mins which melted it without over heating it, then I just poured in - so easy.  :)

Looks great Isi, glad you liked it.  :)

Thanks guys, I was really happy with how this turned out and after having a small piece last night after tea it was even nicer after having the day to chill.  :)

GLAZED KIWI & LIME TART WITH PISTACHIO CRUST
115g finely ground pistachio nuts
8 digestive biscuits  – I used Granita
55g caster sugar
1 tblsp lime zest (about 1 lime)
85g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large egg yolks
400g tin condensed milk
120ml fresh lime juice (about 5 limes)
5 kiwis, peeled and sliced into thin rounds (I only used 3)
1 tblsp fresh lime juice, extra *see note in method
1 tblsp water
1 tblsp caster sugar
½ tsp cornflour

Preheat oven 175 C.  Grease a 23cm fluted tart tin. (make sure your tin is not any bigger)

Place biscuits into TM bowl.  Chop 8 secs/speed 8. Remove from bowl.

Add pistachio nuts to bowl.  Chop 5 secs/speed 8  until finely ground.
Add biscuit crumbs, sugar and lime zest to the pistachios in the bowl.  
Mix on speed 4 for approx 20 secs, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl half way.

With blades running on speed 4, pour melted butter through opening in the lid until all combined about 20 secs.
Press the crust into the tart tin.  Take your time doing this there will be enough for this size tin.
Bake for 10 mins.  Clean out bowl.
 
Transfer tart to a wire rack and cool. You will find that it puffs up a little in the oven, but will settle down as it cools.  I did however have to use my fingers to push over some cracks in the sides, when just out of the oven which worked out okay.

Place egg yolks, condensed milk and 120ml of lime juice into TM bowl *(I got 120ml out of 5 limes which was all I had, so I scooped out 1 tblsp to put aside for the glaze).  

Mix for 30 secs/speed 4 until well combined.

Pour into the cooled crust (mine was still warm) and even the surface with a spatula.  Bake for 15 mins.  Clean out bowl .  Transfer tart to a wire rack.

Arrange the kiwi slices on top of the filling – slightly overlapping, in concentric circles.

Place the tblsp of lime juice, water, sugar and cornflour into TM bowl.  
Heat on 90°C/2 mins/speed 3 until boils and thickens.

Using a pastry brush, brush over the kiwi fruit with the glaze.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Variations:

Glazed strawberry & lime tart with pistachio crust
Prepare the basic recipe, replacing the sliced kiwis with 455g sliced strawberries.  Proceed with glazing.

Glazed raspberry & lime tart with pistachio crust
Prepare basic recipe replacing the kiwis with 500g fresh raspberries, proceed with glazing.

Glazed blueberry, kiwi  etc
Prepare basic recipe, arranging a handful of fresh blueberries over the kiwi slices, proceed with glazing.

Glazed mango & lime tart etc
Prepare basic recipe, replacing the kiwi slices with 340g sliced mango.  Proceed with glazing.

Notes:
This is a recipe from the book 500 Pies & Tarts.  
Was so easy to make and tastes lovely. I really liked the pistachio crust which was a change from just the usual biscuit one.  
I think you could cut down on the sugar slightly, wasn't over the top sweet, but I'd still like to reduce a bit next time.
Didn't take long to make and I cut a slice about 1 1/2 hours after making and it was set.  Would be perfect to take to a barbie or for anything really.  I do like the sound of some of the variations too, and wondering what lemon juice would be like in place of the lime.







I was really happy with how this turned out and after having a small piece last night after tea it was even nicer after having the day to chill.

Thermomixer - Good work as usual JulieO.  Wonder if you could just use softened butter to make the crust? Just thinking for the quick cooks I was wondering about even putting the nuts and bikkies in together and then just dump in the remainder?

Cecilia - I made this last week for a family gathering and people enjoyed it.  I found the lime pretty strong but paired with a nice plain whipped cream, all very, very good.  Thank you for the recipe and photos.

KarenH - Made this today after reading about it in another thread. What can I say - why didn't I find this recipe earlier!!!
Didn't have enough granita biscuits, so threw in a couple of gingernuts to make up the number.
Didn't have enough kiwifruit so used some strawberries too.
Used Woolworths homebrand condensed milk - wont do that again - not as good as the original, with a funny taste. 
The glaze is worth the extra effort. Fantastic dessert!  Thanks so much JulieO.

Kimmyh - Made this with lemons instead of limes and strawberries. Very yummy and easy. Thanks again JulieO. Can't wait to make with limes, if they ever grow on my tree.

sue purrb - I made this for a workmate's birthday last week, and it was a great hit. I also made a lemon version decorated with fresh strawberries, and made the glaze for the first time. I agree, it is worth it!  I used the base from Tenina's Lime Mousse Pie, which is really easy and tasty. I use it for just about any tart or cheesecake.

I think TMX Australia should put Isi on the payroll and get some of her recipes in the EDC. Yummo!!!  :)

I totally agree with this.  ;D

Thanks Foodie  ;D

Very easy recipe and nice flavours.  Recommended for 2 as  a main course, or 4 as an entree.  DH and I had as a main course.  Served on a bed of salad with some fresh bread.  Really enjoyed it.

Marinating,

Nice to see you back on air JulieO, had missed your postings then realised you were off to Adelaide this week. Bet you picked up every ingredient you can't get in Whyalla, so what delights are going to be popping up with photos anytime soon  ;) ;)

Thanks Judy, that's nice of you to say. :D  Unfortunately I had to cancel my trip to Adelaide last week, DH had to move our son to Adelaide without me.  Had the worse cold you can imagine and still not feeling 100%, haven't been making anything of note, just getting through.  Will be glad when my mojo returns.  :)
