Last week, I was invited to dinner with friends and I made a lemon raspberry tart to finish the meal on a tangy note. In addition, I had shortbread from the time I made my strawberry pie – so the recipe was pretty quick to prepare.
If I had had the time, I would have made a meringue because I am an absolute fan of the lemon meringue pie but I did not have the time ! Nevertheless, the pie was a great success and my friends were refilled. So, it’s up to you !
For the lemon cream, I used a different recipe than usual. I followed Moulaye Fanny’s advice on his blog.
Raspberry lemon tart recipe
Ingredients
For the shortcrust pastry
250g of flour
150g butter
100g sugar
1 egg
A little vanilla powder
For the lemon cream
150g lemon juice
120g sugar
3 whole eggs
180g butter
Some raspberries
Mint leaves
Steps
Shortbread pastry
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl by hand, wooden spoon or using your food processor.
With this quantity, you can make two pies (about 6 people – not too greedy !). You can freeze the rest.
Let the dough rest for 2 hours or make it the day before.
Spread the dough on a floured work surface and cut out the shape that suits you (circle, pastry rectangle). Place the dough in the mold, prick the bottom with a fork and bake it white 15 min at 180°C (th. 6). To prevent the dough from swelling, spread the bottom of the beans wrapped in aluminum foil.
Lemon cream
In a bain marie, heat the lemon juice, sugar and whole eggs like a pastry cream.
Let your cream cool down to around 60°C.
Pour the preparation over the diced cold butter and mix with a hand blender for several minutes to emulsify your cream well. You should see that the cream is already starting to set.
Reserve in the cold for 2 hours to obtain a solidified cream.
Assembling the pie
Put the lemon cream in a pocket with a plain tip.
Spread cream on the inside of your cooled pie shell.
Cut the raspberries into quarters and arrange them on the lemon cream. Chop a few fresh mint leaves.
All that’s left to do is taste.
