For the Lemon Tart

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.

  2. 2

    Make the Lemon Filling

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole eggs, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and granulated sugar until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pre-baked tart crust.

  3. 3

    Bake the Tart

    Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to whip until stiff peaks form.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the cooled lemon tart, serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top, and enjoy!
