Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1–2 tablespoons ice water
For the lemon filling:
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For the topping:
- 1 1/2 cups mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon apricot jam (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse together flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing just until the dough begins to come together. Press the dough into a tart pan, prick with a fork, and bake until golden.
- Make the lemon filling: Whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, eggs, cream, and flour until smooth. Pour into the pre-baked crust and bake until set.
- Add the topping: Chill the tart, then top with fresh berries. Optionally, glaze with warmed apricot jam.
Notes
- Use any combination of berries you prefer.
- The tart can be made a day ahead and topped with berries just before serving.
