How do I store Lime Divine Tarts properly?

Lime Divine Tarts should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to three days. For best results, add whipped topping just before serving to maintain texture and appearance.

Can I freeze Lime Divine Tarts?

Yes, Lime Divine Tarts freeze very well. Place them in a single layer in an airtight container and freeze for up to one month. When ready to serve, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight for the best texture and flavor.

Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh?

While bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch, fresh lime juice is highly recommended for Lime Divine Tarts. It provides a brighter, more natural citrus flavor that significantly enhances the overall taste of the dessert.

Why is my lime filling not setting properly?

If your Lime Divine Tarts filling is too soft, it may be due to underbaking or not enough chilling time. Make sure the filling is slightly set in the oven and allow at least two hours of refrigeration. Also, ensure the correct ratio of lime juice and condensed milk is used, as this helps the filling firm up.
