Method

Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Lemon Filling

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add the warm lemon mixture to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Egg Whites

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the lemon mixture into the egg whites until just combined. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.

  4. 4

    Chill the Tart

    Place the tart in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until set. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and lemon slices if desired.
