Impressive Lemon Curd Tart with buttery shortbread crust, tangy filling, and fresh berries. Quick to make in 30 minutes. Serve with sweetened whipped cream for extra sweetness.
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
  • Fresh assorted berries and sweetened whipped cream, as desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously coat a 9-inch tart pan that has a 1-inch rim and a removable bottom with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of softened butter and 1/4 cup of sugar until well combined. Add flour and mix until a crumbly dough forms, which can be pressed together easily. Firmly pat the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes until the crust sets in the center but remains pale. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Combine sugar, cornstarch, water, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture. Slowly mix the yolk mixture into the hot mixture in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it gently boils. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour over the cooled baked crust. Allow it to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set.
  • Before serving, generously scatter fresh berries over the top of the dish and accompany with a dollop of whipped cream. Store the leftovers in the refrigerator with a loose cover.
