Lemon Tartalette

The two-lemon tartlet has become a staple of French pastry thanks to its smooth cream made from both yellow and green lemons. The pastry chef’s art lies in perfectly balancing the light acidity of the lemons with sugar to create a creamy, soft filling without masking its exotic flavors.
The lemon cream is generously placed on a lightly sweetened shortcrust tartlet with a pleasantly crisp, biscuit-like texture.
And don’t be surprised if the lemon tartlet doesn’t actually contain… whole lemons! The lemon cream (or lemon curd) is made from the juice and zest of yellow and green lemons, not the whole fruit.
The lemon tart is a dessert enjoyed both for special occasions and small daily indulgences.
