Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Pinch of salt
How to Make Lemon Tart with Fresh Berries
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and mix until a dough forms. Press the dough into a tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- While the crust cools, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and heavy cream in a bowl until well combined.
- Pour the lemon filling into the cooled tart shell. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Before serving, top the tart with fresh raspberries and garnish with mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor—bottled lemon juice just doesn’t cut it.
- Allow the tart to chill completely; this helps the flavors meld and improves the texture.
- For a smoother filling, strain the lemon mixture before pouring it into the crust.
Easy Variations
- Swap raspberries for other berries like blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries.
- Add a layer of whipped cream on top for an extra creamy texture.
- Infuse the lemon filling with a hint of vanilla or almond extract for a twist on flavor.
What to Serve With It
- A dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Fresh fruit salad
- Sparkling wine or lemonade for a refreshing drink pairing
