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.

BLUEBERRY-LEMON TART

Steps:

• To make the pastry, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the dough resembles cornmeal. Add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse again until the dough pulls together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Roll the dough up onto the pin and lay it inside a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the edges of the pan and fold the excess dough inside to reinforce the rim. Cover the tart pan with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to rest.
• To bake the shell, heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the tart pan on a baking sheet and prick the bottom of the dough with a fork. Cover the shell with a piece of parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights. Lightly beat the egg white with 1 teaspoon water and brush it onto the bottom and sides of the tart shell; set aside to cool.
• Whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, cream, zest, and salt. Add the blueberries to the cooled tart shell and pour the filling over the blueberries. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The curd should jiggle slightly when done. Cool to room temperature, remove from the tart ring, and serve.
