Lemon Tart
We just love a great lemon dessert. We were having some dear friends over for dinner and I wanted to make a special dessert for them, so I made this Lemon Tart. We have always enjoyed it and so did they. I was so excited when there were two slices left, that we had for dessert the next day at lunch, it was sooo good! I am sharing it with you today and sure hope you enjoy it!
Lemon Tart
Miz Helen's Kitchen
1 9 inch tart shell
1 egg beaten
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 pinch salt
5 large eggs
The Tart Shell
Prick the bottom of the tart shell and line it with a double thickness of foil
Prick the bottom of the tart shell and line it with a double thickness of foil
Fill the tart with dried beans or pie weights, this helps the tart shell hold it shape through the baking process
Bake the shell for 10 minutes in a 400 degree oven
Lift out the foil and brush the tart shell with 1 beaten egg
Place the tart shell back in the oven and bake for 4 minutes until dry, do not over bake at this point
Cool on a rack to room temperature
Lemon Filling
Beat the lemon juice, sugar, cream and salt until mixed well.
Add the eggs, one at a time beating well after each addition
Pour egg mixture into the baked and cooled tart shell
Bake 25 minutes or until set at 375 degrees
Cool on a rack for 1 hour
Chill for 3 hours before serving
Garnish with fresh fruit and Whipped Cream
Weight The Tart Shell With Dried Beans
Ready To Bake
Chilled and Ready to Serve
Enjoy!
I hope that you enjoy this Lemon Tart as much as we did. I wish there was a slice left for you to take with you today, but we ate the whole thing! Your visits are always very special to us and I hope you will come back soon!
Peace and Joy
Miz Helen

Your lemon cake looks yummy Helen. I'd probably have liked it better if you have left me a piece, but since I know sweets never last long in my house, I can forgive you....this time. If it's chocolate, I may have more problems forgiving you if this happens again. Ha-ha! I always enjoy seeing the wonderful recipes you share Helen, so thank you for joining us at Your Cozy Home Party!

DeleteThis is so beautiful for a Spring/Summer dessert. I have a question. I bought some pie stones and they stuck to the crust. Did I do something wrong? They were cheap from the Christmas Tree Store.
ReplyDeleteI love lemon desserts. This has to be the loveliest lemon tart I have ever seen! Strawberries and lemons go so well together.
