Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 tablespoon cold water
6 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
Sage-Cornmeal Crust
3 tablespoons creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a large heatproof bowl. Gradually whisk in lemon juice. Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and whisk constantly until mixture has thickened and registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Whisk in gelatin mixture. Remove from heat, and whisk in butter, a few pieces at a time, until smooth. Let cool, stirring occasionally. Prepare an ice-water bath. Place bowl of yolk mixture over bath, and stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Spread curd into crust; smooth top. Dollop creme fraiche on top. Using a wooden skewer or the tip of a knife, swirl creme fraiche into curd to create a marbleized effect. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).

The tart was good, but I thought the crust was a little bland. I might try adding some herbs or spices to the crust next time.

The lemon tart was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.

Not a fan of the sage in the crust. Otherwise, the tart was good.

This tart was easy to make and turned out great! The lemon filling was the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the sage-cornmeal crust was a nice twist on the classic lemon tart. Highly recommend!

The lemon tart was delicious, but the crust was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe for the crust next time.

This was a delicious and beautiful tart! The lemon filling was creamy and tart, and the sage-cornmeal crust was crispy and flavorful. I especially liked the contrast between the sweet and sour flavors of the lemon filling and the savory crust. 10/10,
