Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Pinch of salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 teaspoons (or more) chilled whipping cream
1 egg white, beaten to blend

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup whipping cream

2 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (packed) finely grated lemon peel
Lemon slices (optional)

Using on/off turns, blend until moist clumps form, adding more cream by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap and chill at least 2 hours.

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

CRUST
1 c all purpose flour
1/4 c powdered sugar
pinch salt
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2" cubes
4 tsp whipping cream, chilled
1 egg white, to blend
FILLING
3/4 c sugar, plus 2 tbs
3/4 c whipping cream
4 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
1/2 c fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp lemon zest, finely grated, packed

Steps:

  • 1. Crust: combine flour, sugar and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Blend in butter until course meal forms. Add 4 tsp cream, blend until moist clumps form, adding more cream by teaspoonfuls, if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap and chill at least 2 hours.,
  • 2. Preheat oven 350. Roll out dough on floured surface to 12" round. Transfer to 9" tart pan with removable bottom. Fold overhang in, pressing to form double thick sides. Bake about 18 minutes, until golden, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles. Brush inside the crust twice with egg white. Maintain oven temp.
  • 3. Filling: Whisk 3/4 cup sugar, cream, yolk and eggs in bowl to blend well. Mix in lemon juice & lemon zest. Pour filling into warm crust. Bake until filling is slightly puffed at edges and set in center, about 30 minutes. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • 4. Preheat broiler. Place tart on baking sheet. Cover edge of crust with foil. Sprinkle tart with remaining sugar. Broil tart until sugar melts and caramelizes, turning sheet for even browning, about 2 minutes. Transfer tart to rack. Cool until topping is crisp, about 1 hour.
  • 5. Push tart pan bottom up, remove tart. Place on platter, serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon zest and juice add the best flavor to this tart. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of bottled lemon extract in place of the zest and juice.
  • Make sure the crème brûlée filling is set before torching the sugar. The filling should be firm to the touch, but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
  • Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar. A kitchen torch is the best way to get a smooth, even caramelized sugar topping. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can use a broiler, but be careful not to burn the sugar.
  • Serve the tart immediately after torching the sugar. The caramelized sugar topping is best when it's still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

This lemon crème brûlée tart is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy, tangy filling is perfectly complemented by the sweet, caramelized sugar topping. With a little planning ahead, this tart is easy to make and will surely impress your guests.
