Lemon & lime tart

Lemon & lime tart is a delightful dessert that brings together the zesty flavors of citrus fruits with a smooth, creamy filling and a crisp, buttery crust. This tart is perfect for a refreshing end to a meal or a standout treat at any gathering.

Ingredients:

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
2/3 cup butter
150g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
1 tbsp water
16g
5 eggs
250g
1/3 cup lemon juice
63g
1/3 cup lime juice
72g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Making the Crust:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the tablespoon of water and mix until the dough starts to come together.
- Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Baking the Crust:
- Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the bottom and sides.
- Trim any excess dough from the edges.
- Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the crust is fully baked and golden brown.
- Let the crust cool completely.
4. Preparing the Filling:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/2 cup of sugar until well combined.
- Add the lemon juice, lime juice, and heavy whipping cream, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
5. Baking the Tart:
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to fully set.
6. Serving:
- Before serving, you can optionally dust the top of the tart with powdered sugar or garnish with thin slices of lemon and lime.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing Lemon & Lime Tart!

Tips:

- Tip 1: Ensure your butter is cold and cut into small cubes before incorporating it into the flour for the crust. This will help create a flakier pastry.

- Tip 2: When combining the lemon and lime juices with the eggs and sugar, whisk thoroughly to create a smooth and cohesive mixture, preventing lumps.

- Tip 3: Use fresh lemon and lime juice for the best, most vibrant flavor. Bottled juices can lack the same zing.

- Tip 4: Blind bake the tart crust before adding the filling to prevent a soggy bottom. Simply line the crust with parchment paper and fill with baking beans or rice, then bake it until lightly golden.

- Tip 5: Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing. This helps the filling set properly, making it easier to cut clean pieces.

Once baked, your Lemon & lime tart will have a beautifully golden crust filled with a tangy and creamy citrus filling. Let it cool before serving, and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors in every bite. This dessert is sure to impress your guests and delight your taste buds.
