THE PERFECT LEMON TART
From 'Luscious Lemon Desserts'. Easy and impressive looking. After prebaking crust, look for any cracks that the filling could seeep through. Make a paste with about 1 teaspoon of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of water, and smear it over the cracks with your fingers to seal it. This recipe uses aproximately 4 lemons.

Tips:
- Use good quality lemons for the best flavor. Organic lemons are ideal, if available.
- Make sure to zest the lemons finely, as this will help release the most flavor.
- Don't overmix the pastry dough, as this will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients come together.
- Chill the pastry dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- Blind bake the pastry crust before filling it. This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Make sure the lemon curd is thick enough before pouring it into the pastry crust. If it's too thin, it will run out of the tart.
- Chill the tart for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the tart to set.
Conclusion:
This classic lemon tart with coconut almond crust is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the tangy lemon curd and the sweet, nutty crust is irresistible. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this tart at home.
