Lemon Tart Recipe: A Deliciously Tangy Dessert


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions:

  1. To make the crust, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, butter, and 1/4 cup of sugar until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and cold water, and mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork, then bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
  2. While the crust is baking, make the filling. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup of sugar, eggs, lemon juice, heavy cream, and lemon zest until well combined. Pour the filling into the warm crust and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  3. Allow the tart to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve the tart chilled, garnished with whipped cream or additional lemon zest, if desired.

This delicious lemon tart is the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, and is sure to become a new favorite dessert. Whether you serve it as a special treat for a dinner party or as an indulgence for yourself, this recipe is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

For an extra special touch, you can also top the tart with fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries or blueberries. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also try adding a layer of fruit compote or preserve in between the crust and the filling for an extra burst of flavor.

This lemon tart recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to get creative and make it your own. You can use different types of crust, such as a graham cracker crust or a shortbread crust, or experiment with different types of sweeteners or flavorings. The possibilities are endless, so have fun and let your culinary creativity shine!
