Recipe
If your body craves something fresh and delicious, do not deny it! Pamper yourself with a lemon tart after the manner of French confectioners.
Everything is perfect in the lemon tart from Cook It: crunchy shortcrust made with almond flour, delicate cream rich in citrus aroma, and laconic chocolate decor that lets you explore new facets of taste.
Advice. Firstly, butter for making shortcrust and filling should be at room temperature, so take it out of the refrigerator in advance. Secondly, you can make almond flour yourself. For this, grind nuts in a coffee grinder. Finally, to extract more juice from lemons, press them to the countertop with your palm and roll them.

The basis of the filling of this tart is a classic lemon curd. If you hold it over a pan of simmering water a little longer and do not add gelatin, you will get a great alternative to jam for morning toast or pancakes. It is perfectly stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make yourself some tea and enjoy!
