Categories     dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

15 frozen phyllo tart shells, such as Athens, thawed
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus for sprinkling
2 large eggs plus 2 large yolks
2 Meyer lemons, zested and juiced (about 1/3 cup)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pats
Whipped cream, for garnish
Turbinado sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray the phyllo shells with cooking spray and sprinkle with 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar. Place the shells on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside and let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, yolks and the 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl until thick and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and juice, and stir to combine.
  • Add the egg mixture to a heavy saucepan; heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into a bowl set in an ice bath. Stir in the butter, one pat at a time, and continue stirring to cool down quickly (or chill in the refrigerator until cool to the touch, about 5 minutes).
  • Fill a pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag with a corner snipped off with the lemon curd filling. Pipe the filling into the cooled tart shells, then freeze for 1 hour. Garnish with a small dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar just before serving.

The State Fair food version of this recipe involves a lot of sugar, (1/2 cup per portion, perhaps?) This is cut down a bit and yet they are still sweet and juicy, with a syrup that infuses the whole drink with sweet lemonade flavor. Cooking time does not include chilling time.

LEMON SHAKE-UP



Lemon Shake-Up image

A quick and easy lemon drink that is often sold at street festivals and the like. I like to make this at home for my daughter- takes up less space than a pitcher of lemonade in the refrigerator, and only a few minutes to make.

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Beverages

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 fresh lemon (or more, depending on your taste, size of lemon or how juicy it is)
12 ounces distilled water (may use tap water if you prefer that)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
ice cube (as needed)

Steps:

  • Place water in a covered shaker and squeeze lemon into it until it is completely juiced (you may like to cut the lemon pieces into quarters to do this as they are easier to handle, or use a reamer instead).
  • Pour the sugar into the shaker and add just a few ice cubes to agitate but do not overfill your shaker.
  • Affix the lid or cap and shake mixture until the sugar completely dissolves.
  • Pour lemon shake-up into a large serving glass (about a 24 oz size or larger) and add more ice to fill the glass as needed.
  • Drink up and be prepared to make more!

Tips:

  • For a perfectly chilled Lemon Shake-Up, freeze the lemon juice in ice cube trays for at least 4 hours before making the drink.
  • If you don't have grenadine, you can substitute it with another red syrup or liqueur, such as cherry syrup or triple sec.
  • For a virgin Lemon Shake-Up, omit the vodka and add an extra splash of lemon juice or soda water.
  • Garnish your Lemon Shake-Up with a lemon twist or a cherry for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
  • Serve the Lemon Shake-Up immediately after making it, while it's still cold and refreshing.
