Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 tin condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) lemon juice
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) whipped cream
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) lemon zest
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 packet digestive biscuits, crushed
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) melted butter
Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 chocolates of your choice, crushed (or extra lemon zest for garnish)
Instructions
- Craft a robust foundation by blending finely ground digestive biscuits with silky melted butter until the texture resembles damp sand.
- Transfer the crumbly mixture into a tart pan, using gentle but firm pressure to create an uniform base that covers the entire bottom and slightly up the sides.
- Chill the prepared crust in the refrigerator for approximately 10-15 minutes to stabilize its structure and enhance its cohesiveness.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine velvety condensed milk with freshly squeezed lemon juice and fragrant lemon zest, whisking methodically until the mixture transforms into a smooth, luxurious consistency.
- Retrieve the chilled crust and carefully pour the vibrant lemon filling, ensuring an even distribution across the surface with delicate, deliberate movements.
- Return the tart to the refrigerator and allow it to set completely, typically requiring a minimum of 2 hours for optimal texture and flavor development.
- Prior to serving, adorn the tart with billowy whipped cream, creating elegant swirls or a uniform layer across the top.
- Enhance the visual appeal by sprinkling delicate chocolate fragments or additional zesty lemon shavings as a final flourish.
- Slice the tart into precise portions and serve immediately, offering a refreshing and tantalizing dessert experience.
Notes
- Swap digestive biscuits with gluten-free graham crackers to make the tart suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Use full-fat coconut cream instead of whipped cream for a dairy-free alternative that still provides a creamy texture.
- Experiment with different citrus zests like lime or orange to create unique flavor variations of the classic lemon tart.
- Chill the tart pan before pressing the crust to help it set faster and create a more stable base for the filling.
