Lemon Tart, Fresh Strawberry, Lemon Verbena Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Make the Tart Crust

   In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and granulated sugar. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg yolks and mix until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a tart pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Pre-bake the Tart Shell

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has chilled, bake the crust for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

   Prepare the Lemon Filling

   In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, and heavy cream until well combined. Pour the lemon mixture into the pre-baked tart shell.

4. 4

   Bake the Tart

   Bake the tart for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

   Prepare the Strawberry Topping

   In a separate bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and chopped lemon verbena leaves. Let them macerate for about 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Assemble and Serve

   Once the tart is cool, top it with the macerated strawberries. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
