Kiwi Lime Tart

This refreshing Kiwi Lime Tart combines the traditional flavors of a classic tart with a creative twist from the vibrant kiwi fruit. The buttery crust is filled with a tangy lime curd and topped with slices of fresh kiwi, creating a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness. Perfect for a summer dessert, it meets dietary requirements by being gluten-free and can be made dairy-free as well.
