Prepare the Tart Crust:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheat the oven to 175\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a food processor, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and pulse until the dough just comes together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form it into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once chilled, roll out the dough to fit into a tart pan (about 9-inch in diameter). Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment and weights and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the crust is golden. Let it cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Make the Lemon Curd:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Gradually add a little bit of the hot lemon mixture to the eggs while whisking to temper them (so they don\u2019t scramble).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slowly pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining lemon mixture, whisking constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cook the mixture over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes). You\u2019ll know it\u2019s done when it coats the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remove from heat and stir in the butter until smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Assemble the Tart:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour the lemon curd into the cooled tart crust and spread it evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refrigerate the tart for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) to allow the curd to set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Make the cream<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork until smooth. You can strain out the seeds for a silkier texture, but it\u2019s optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer (or whisk) until soft peaks form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gently fold the mashed raspberries into the whipped cream using a spatula. If you like a marbled effect, don\u2019t overmix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavours blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1012\" data-id=\"201\" src=\"https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Slice-e1739658137696-1024x1012.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Slice-e1739658137696-1024x1012.png 1024w, https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Slice-e1739658137696-300x297.png 300w, https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Slice-e1739658137696-768x759.png 768w, https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Slice-e1739658137696-1536x1518.png 1536w, https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Slice-e1739658137696-2048x2024.png 2048w, https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Slice-e1739658137696-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" data-id=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Whole-pic-1024x771.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Whole-pic-1024x771.png 1024w, https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Whole-pic-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Whole-pic-768x578.png 768w, https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Whole-pic-1536x1157.png 1536w, https:\/\/kitchenofyum.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lemon-Tart-Whole-pic-2048x1542.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients: For the Tart Crust: For the Lemon Curd: For the Raspberry Cream Method 1.
