Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 160 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 120 grams white chocolate chips
• 397 grams sweetened condensed milk
• 120 milliliters key lime juice
• 1 tablespoon key lime zest
• 0 whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0 extra white chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
• 0 extra key lime zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the dough.

Step 7

Press the dough evenly into the prepared tart pan, making sure to press it up the sides to form a cookie crust.

Step 8

Bake the cookie crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.

Step 9

While the cookie crust cools, prepare the filling by whisking together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and key lime zest in a medium bowl until smooth and thickened.

Step 10

Once the crust has fully cooled, pour the key lime filling into the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 11

Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, just until the filling sets.

Step 12

Let the tart cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up.

Step 13

Once chilled, remove the tart from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.

Step 14

Garnish with whipped cream, extra white chocolate chips, and a sprinkle of key lime zest, if desired, before serving.

Step 15

Slice and enjoy your Gingered Key Lime White Chip Cookie Tart!
