Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon (about 2 teaspoons)
3 large eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons butter
One 9-inch tart shell, homemade or store-bought, baked
Dollop whipped creme fraiche
Dollop whipped cream

Steps:

  • Heat the lemon juice and zest in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until just boiling. Remove from the heat.
  • Whisk the eggs, sugar and salt together in a medium saucepan until well combined. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the lemon mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Cook the egg mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until the custard is thick, about 8 minutes. Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the butter. Once all of the butter melts and is fully incorporated, strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve into the tart shell.
  • Leave the tart to set up in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped creme fraiche and whipped cream folded in together.

This tart is so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love that I can use store-bought pie crust to save time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tart turned out really runny. I think I might have overcooked the filling.

The tart was a bit too sour for my taste, but my friends loved it. I think I'll try using less lemon juice next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this tart was surprisingly good. The crust was crispy and the filling was creamy and tangy. I would definitely make this again.

This lemon tart is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The filling is creamy and smooth, while the crust is buttery and flaky. I loved the addition of the lemon zest, which gave the tart a bright and refreshing flavor.
