Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Form the Dough

    Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pre-bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, heavy cream, and salt until smooth.

  2. 5

    Bake the Filling

    Pour the lemon filling into the pre-baked crust and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.

Serving

  1. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool completely. Top with fresh mixed berries and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
