A delightful dessert featuring a buttery crust and a tangy lemon curd filling, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together the flour, softened butter, powdered sugar, and salt until the mixture is crumbly. Add the egg yolk and stir until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Gently fit the rolled-out dough into a tart pan, pressing it into the corners. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Once baked, let it cool completely.
  3. Whisk together the sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a separate bowl until they are well combined.
  4. Combine the lemon mixture in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook while stirring constantly until it thickens, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until it melts and the mixture becomes smooth.
  5. Pour the freshly made lemon curd into the cooled tart shell, spreading it evenly. Place the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing the curd to set.

Notes

Serve with freshly whipped cream, powdered sugar, or fresh berries for garnish.
