Delicious Strawberry Lime

Ingredients

twenty-one ounce puff pastry dough
one egg yolk
three eggs
quarter cup sugar
Juice of three Sicilian limes
one tablespoon lime zest
three tablespoons unsalted butter
one cup strawberries, chopped
Mint leaves for decoration

Instructions:

With a one and half-inch circle cookie cutter, slice circles out of puff pastry dough.

Use a smaller circular cookie cutter to eliminate the center from half of them.

Brush the pastry rings with the yolk, then put on top of the whole pastry circles..

Beat the eggs, and blend with the lime juice and sugar. Simmer over low heat, mixing constantly, till it reaches a creamy texture. Eliminate from heat, put the butter and lime zest, and set aside.

When cool, pour the mini tortes with the lime cream and strawberries. Decorate with mint sprigs and serve.

Yummy!
