Method
 

Prepare the Tart Shell
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat the softened salted butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Stir in pure vanilla extract, sift in flour, and blend until dough forms. Shape into a disk, press into the tart pan, and chill for 30 minutes. Blind bake with parchment and weights for 20 minutes, then bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
Make the Filling
  1. Muddle the mint leaves with lime juice in a small bowl, strain to remove solids. In a large bowl, whisk sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in reserved lime juice, lime zest, and rum. Pour filling into cooled tart shell and bake for 15 minutes until just set.
Chill and Serve
  1. Cool the Mojito Tart at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh mint, and lime slices.
