Easy lemon tart

This easy lemon tart is a delightful dessert that combines the refreshing zing of lemon with the creamy, rich texture of a perfectly baked tart. It's simple to make yet impressive enough to wow your guests or satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

4 eggs
200g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1 cup sugar
200g
1 cup coconut meat
150g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup light sour cream
230g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your tart pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk together until well beaten.
- Gradually add the sugar to the eggs while continuing to whisk until the mixture is light and frothy.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients:
- Sift the all-purpose white wheat flour into the egg and sugar mixture. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
4. Incorporate Coconut and Butter:
- Fold in the shredded coconut meat.
- Pour in the melted butter and mix well until incorporated.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Gradually add the light sour cream, mixing constantly to avoid lumps.
- Pour in the milk and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Add the lemon zest and lemon juice; stir until everything is well combined.
6. Transfer to Tart Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared tart pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake the Tart:
- Place the tart in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the tart to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For a decorative touch, sprinkle some additional lemon zest or powdered sugar on top before serving.

Tips:

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature to help them blend smoothly and evenly.

- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice doesn't compare.

- When zesting the lemon, avoid the white pith underneath the skin, as it can add bitterness to your tart.

- Let the tart cool completely before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and makes it easier to slice.

- If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute the 1% milk with whole milk or even half-and-half.

This easy lemon tart is the perfect balance of tart and sweet, with a creamy texture that melts in your mouth. By following these tips and using fresh ingredients, you'll achieve a dessert that's both delicious and beautiful, making it great for any occasion.
