Ingredients:

1 sweet tart crust (or homemade pie crust, or store-bought 23cm / 9-inch sweet pie or tart crust)

LEMON TART FILLING:

12 tablespoons / 170 grams unsalted butter, cut into 1cm (1/2-inch) cubes
3 Egg yolks (from large-size eggs)
1/2 c lemon juice (from 1–2 lemons)
1 tablespoon lemon zest (1 lemon’s worth)
3 whole Eggs, large
3/4 c white sugar

Directions:

For the Tart Crust:

Refer to the directions provided on the package of the crust on how to prepare it. Let it cool at room temperature.

For the Lemon Tart Filling:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.

In a saucepan, add all the ingredients for the tart. Whisk everything until well incorporated. Put it on the stove and turn the heat to medium-low. Whisk and cook for 5 minutes or until the texture becomes thick.

Remove the pan from the heat, then strain the tart with a fine mesh strainer into a mixing bowl.

Fill each tart shell with the tart and spread the top evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until done.

Remove the tart from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice into even servings. Top with lemon slices, raspberries, and edible flowers.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. They can last up to 4 days.
