Prep Time:

Cook Time:

Total Time:
170 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 1 quantity of shortcrust pastry (see related recipe)
  • 6 eggs
  • 250g caster sugar
  • 5 lemons - grated rind of 3, juice of 5
  • 150ml thick cream
  • 20g chocolate, melted, cooled
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and place it in a 24cm loose-bottomed fluted tart pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Line the pastry with baking paper, add rice or pastry weights, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and weights, then bake for an additional 5 minutes until crispy.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 150°C. Combine eggs and sugar in a bowl using a wooden spoon until just mixed. Mix in juice and rind, then let it sit for 30 minutes to infuse. Carefully mix in cream, strain the mixture into a jug, pour it over the pastry on a baking tray almost to the top, and bake. Top off with the remaining filling.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until the tart is set with a slight wobble and remains pale in color.
  • Let the tart cool for 30 minutes and then carefully remove it from the pan. Transfer the chocolate into a piping bag and artfully drizzle it over the tart to create a "citron" design.
