Spring is finally here and a myriad of colors from spring flowers are everywhere. I love our streets lined up with beautiful cherry blossoms and it’s such a pretty sight. There’s something about lemons too that gets me all excited in spring! I start craving for that fresh lemony taste in almost everything that I eat.A good squeeze of lemon is a standard in my salad and my sauces these days and I love that little tang in every bite.That fresh fragrance just brightens up the day for me.
So, I decided to bake a Lemon Tart to embrace the flavors of spring. I have to tell you that this is one hell of a dessert that’s so decadent, rich and lemony with the zest and juice, that you’ll keep going for seconds and thirds! The crust has a rich shortbread like texture that makes it irresistible.Just let it chill in the fridge for sometime to set and you’ll get a clean slice to enjoy.
This was my first try at making a lemon tart from scratch and I looked up a few recipes on the web. I settled on this one since it didn’t use as many eggs or cream as some of the others and decided to give it a try. I cut down on the sugar and did add an extra egg since I have a 10 inch pie dish and had to increase the amount of the filling just a little bit.
Nonetheless it turned out lip-smacking d e l i c i o u s!!
As I’m writing this post I have a slice of this beautiful tart right in front of me and the fresh lemony aroma is filling up my room. I cannot get enough of this beauty.The flavors scream spring and if you’re a lover of lemon desserts then you’re going to love this one for sure.Enjoy!
