Refreshing, with a pleasant sourness - this dessert is perfect for hot summer days. Lime tart, or Key lime pie, became Florida's official state pie in 2006, but you don't have to cross the ocean to taste it. As a basis, you can take shortbread dough from the recipe or just grind cookies with butter - so the dessert will be ready in less than half an hour.
