Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the crust

In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cube the cold unsalted butter and cut it into the flour mixture until crumbly. Gradually add ice water, stirring just until the dough comes together. Wrap and chill for 1 hour.

2
Roll and pre-bake crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the base with a fork, line with parchment paper, fill with baking beans, and bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden.

3
Make lemon curd

Whisk 4 large eggs, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, and 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice in a saucepan until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.

4
Fill and bake

Strain the lemon curd through a fine mesh into the pre-baked crust, smoothing the top. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until curd is set. Allow to cool completely before chilling in the fridge for 1 hour.

5
Serve

Once chilled, remove the tart from the fridge. Cut into slices and serve.
