Whole Lemon Tart

I made this tart a few weeks ago to bring to Easter Dinner. I used attending dinner parties as my chance to try a new recipe (always accompanied by something safe that I know works, in this case vanilla cupcakes with chocolate icing). The lemon tart definitely stole the show, and is a perfect spring/summer dessert!

I took the recipe from Smitten Kitchen. There are two cool things about this tart; one, the crust is frozen before baking to reduce chances of shrinkage and two, you use the entire lemon (minus the seeds). I was definitely skeptical, but the results were delicious!

Minimal shrinkage on the tart shell and proof you put the whole lemon into the filling!

Best to bake on a cookie sheet covered in parchment or a silicone mat!

Final product just missing a dusting of icing sugar...delicious!

Happy Monday everyone:)
