Lemon Tart – A flaky puff pastry tart filled with lemon cream and topped with fresh raspberries. An easy and elegant spring or summer dessert.
I’m so on the lemon bandwagon right now. Two lemon recipes a mere 2 weeks apart. Who am I?
Let it be known that I’m still (always and forever) on the chocolate bandwagon. And the peanut butter bandwagon. And the berry bandwagon. BUT, I’m really loving lemon desserts lately.
The temps are already reaching into the 90’s here (waaaaah), and lemon desserts feel so light and refreshing as the weather heats up. This Lemon Tart is like a larger version of my Mini Fruit Tarts. My family goes crazy for fruit tarts of any type, and this one always receives great reviews. Plus, look at how pretty it is; it’s the perfect balance of elegant and rustic.
Good news… this recipe is also super easy. From start to finish, you can have this on the table in less than an hour.
Lemon Tart
- Puff Pastry Crust: Simply roll out a sheet of store bought puff pastry and score a border around the outside edge. While the puff pastry bakes the outer edge will puff up and create a space in the center to fill with the lemon cream filling.
- Lemon Cream Filling: Whipped cream, cream cheese, lemon zest, and lemon curd flavor this easy no-bake filling.
- Raspberries: I top this Lemon Tart with fresh raspberries, but you can add any fruit you like. Blueberries or sliced strawberries would be great, as would a combination of berries.
You can choose to top the fruit on the tart with a dusting of powdered sugar, a sprinkling of lemon zest, or nothing at all.
Maybe this gorgeous tart will make its way onto your Easter dessert table. Or maybe you can surprise mom and bake this for her for Mother’s Day (do you hear that, hubby?). This Lemon Tart would be fantastic for any spring or summer occasion on the horizon.
I hope your Easter is filled with family, friends, delicious food, and lots of Reese’s eggs.
I’ll see you back here next week (as I’m slowly emerging from an Easter candy coma).
