Best Lemon Tart With Fresh Berries Recipes

LEMON BERRY TART

Steps:

• Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl or the bowl of a food processor.
• Add the cubed butter and cut into the other ingredients with a pastry blender until coarse and sandy, or if you're using a food processor, pulse in short bursts.
• Whisk together the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of the ice water. Add to the flour mixture and use a spoon or your hands (or a few pulses) to bring it together into a ball. If needed, add more ice water 1/2 tablespoon at a time.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge 1 hour. (Can be made up to 3 days ahead.)
• On a floured surface, roll the crust out to a rough 12 or 13-inch circle. Transfer to a greased 8-inch tart pan and press it in gently. Remove any overhanging crust.
• Chill in the fridge 30 minutes. (Can be made up to 3 days ahead, cover with plastic wrap.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line chilled crust with greased foil and fill tart with baking weights, dry rice, or beans. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove foil and weights and bake for 10 minutes more, until golden. Remove and cool completely.
• Warm the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until bubbles appear at the edges. Do not bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Mixture will be very thick. When milk is warm, add to the egg mixture in a small steady stream while whisking constantly.
• Return mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thick, while stirring constantly with a rubber spatula. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
• Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface of the custard. Chill completely, 1-2 hours.
• Stir cooled custard until smooth and spread into the tart crust.
• Top tart with fresh berries. Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for up to 2 hours. Tart is best the day it is assembled, but can be stored in the fridge for a few days.

LEMON TART WITH FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a springform pan and set aside.
• Combine flour, butter, and eggs in a food processor and pulse until a soft pastry ball forms. The dough will be pretty soft and hard to roll out. Take small portions of dough and flatten between your palms. Cover the base and sides of the springform pan until fully covered. Prick all over with a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pastry from the oven and allow to cool completely.
• Combine water, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, cornstarch, and butter in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until cornstarch and sugar are dissolved. Pour mixture into a small saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until cream thickens and starts to bubble, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into the cooled pastry shell. Spread out evenly and chill in the refrigerator until set, about 3 hours.
• Once custard has set, top with fresh berries and lightly dust with powdered sugar.
