TWD: Tartest Lemon Tart



I don't know if this is typical and happened to anyone else but my tart bubbled over...furiously bubbled over.  The surface was uneven in color and texture and didn't look like the numerous other lemon tarts I've had up 'til now.  

My shoulders slumped with what I first thought was another mishap (remember my cake that wasn't from last week?) but I remembered how scrumptiously delicious the filling was before I filled the tart shell (so delicious that I was licking every utensil that came into contact with it as though my life depended on it - so very glad my mother wasn't there to witness it). Well, something that good is bound to remain as good no matter what I inadvertently did to ruin it. 


So, to test that theory, I scraped up the bit that spilled over and delivered the spoonful to my eager tastebuds.  Oh, yeah.  Yummy in my tummy.  My fears were unfounded.  It may not look perfect but it tastes perfect.  The next bite with mascarpone was even better.  I'm afraid this one won't make it to the office.


I know this will be a very addictive addition to my list of favorites.  So easy to make, quick and oh, so good.  Thank you Barb of Babette Feasts for choosing this tart for this week's selection.

So glad you enjoyed it so much - it looks terrific! I seem to be in the minority this week with a really bitter tart!

We loved the filling as well. My husband who isn't a big lemon fan said "make this again, but next time without the crust". hah.
