Streusel-Topped Lemon Tart image

A sweet streusel topping pairs well with citrusy slices of this tart. It's a spectacular spin on basic lemon bars and appears on my menus for both family and company. -Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this tart was amazing. The crust was perfect and the filling was tart but not too sour.

I've tried many lemon tart recipes, but this one is by far the best. The filling is creamy and tart, and the crust is flaky and buttery.
