  4. Press into a 9-inch tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork.

  2. Add Tiptree Lime Curd, egg, lime juice, and zest. Mix until fully combined.

  3. Pour into the cooled crust.

  4. Bake 15–18 minutes, until just set (the center should slightly jiggle).

  5. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3. Prepare the Whipped Cream

  1. Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form.

  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla.

  3. Add green food coloring and whip to stiff peaks.
