FOURTH OF JULY DESSERTS
Fresh Fruit Lemon Tart
serves 8
INGREDIENTS
crust
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup organic cane sugar
1 cup butter, softened
filling
1 ½ cups organic cane sugar
topping
– 1/2 cup each fresh Raspberries, Blackberries and Blueberries
– 1 cup fresh whipped cream
DIRECTIONS
First preheat your oven to 350 degrees and take out your tart pan. I personally love this non toxic stone one, but you could also use this one which is nice because of removable bottom.
Next, in a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of your ungreased tart pan and bake for 20 minutes until firm and golden.
While that is baking, in another bowl, mix together using an electric mixer the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Next, whisk in the eggs and lemon juice and pour over the baked crust when it’s ready. Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. After the tart has fully cooled, decorate with fresh raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. Serve topped with fresh whipped cream and enjoy!
