STRAWBERRY & LEMON TART
STRAWBERRY & LEMON TART RECIPE.
Looking for a homemade fruit dessert?
Then enjoy this wonderful strawberry and lemon tart.
An elegant tart with a cookie-like crust.
Strawberries, raspberries is a summer classic with a shortcrust pastry case and rich, creamy topping.
This tart is a must this summer! Super easy to make, feel free to use any other berries you like.
Ingredients :
For the crust you need :
125 gr soft flour
pinch of salt
30 gr icing sugar
62 gr butter ( cold)
1 egg
5 gr of water or 2tbsp
For the filling
1 cup OR 200 ml whipping/double/heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon caster (superfine) sugar
• 4 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoon lemon zest
fresh strawberries & raspberries to decorate
Directions
Step 1 : Sift your flour, salt and icing sugar in a bowl.
Step 2 : Cube your butter and rub into the mixture.
Step 3 : Add your egg and mix well. Then slowly add water and mix until you reach nice paste. Do not over mix or it will be hard to roll it out.
Step 4: Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.
Step 5 : On a floured surface roll out your pastry into a nice thin crust and place over your flan ring. I am using 8 inch ( 20 cm) one. Poke some holes in a pastry to make sure the pastry doesn't puff up. Place into the freezer for 15-30 min to rest.
Step 6 : Add some baking beans or brown rice and bake the pastry for about 15 min at 180 C / 350 F. Then remove the parchment paper with the weight and bake the tart for extra 10-15 min so its nice and brown. Times might vary depending on your oven.
Step 7 : Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Once the crust has cooled completely, carefully push the bottom of the pan up to release it from the sides. Place the tart on a serving dish and then prepare the filling.
Step 8 : In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for the filling.Using electric mixer, beat to soft peaks. Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Rewhisk before using.
Step 9 : Add the cream to your tart, spread it around. Decorate with fresh berries and enjoy!
It is very nice to find a delicious dessert after having burger by @elfkitchen. This tart looks awesome, i am not very fond of tarts but i should try this if got a chance, now let me visit the near market and see if i can find something similar to this one.
Dear Alla, I might have to buy new swimshorts after trying out all of your delicious recipes. But hey, who cares, right? Lovely recipe again.
hahah thanks soo much :)))) ;))
Do you deliver? jk :) - Looks Divine!
The colors call me and urge me to try that delicious pandispan!
This looks so delicious. Thanks so much for this post. I love how well you arranged the fruit on top of the tart. It looks absolutely gorgeous. I really liked the fact that you have a lemon tart with a cookie crust as this will balance out the sourness of the tart with the sweetness of the crust.
@allasyummyfood - Thank god my mummy was not into cooking so yummy. Otherwise I would have been a dummy weighing 300 pounds. As usual, the recipe looks delicious. This one has great visual appeal too with the contrasting colors of the strawberry and lemon base.
Thanks for sharing. Upvoted.
I request you to visit my latest blogs if you find time. Have posted couple of funny ones (my funny bone seems to be acting up these days 😎 ) about wildlife. Your comments will be very welcome. Thanks

Beautiful and kinda obnoxious-looking tart you've got over there! Looks like it would fit in right fine in that swanky patisserie downtown :)
