  • Join my online French cooking classes 👨‍🍳: learn.thefrenc... French Style Lemon Tart Step by Step (With Lemon custard):
    The French style lemon tart is type of lemon tart that uses a filling that is different than the straightforward Lemon curd as it contains cream and butter. ( as we do in France)
    In this lemon tart ( tarte au citron) tutorial we will learn how to make a classic lemon custard cream (creme au citron). this particularly smooth filling and buttery filling goes very well with meringue too.
    One great thing about that recipe is that the juice can be replaced by other Fruit juice such as orange or tangerines for instance which then transform that dessert into a Orange or Tangerine tart.( Note that in this case the sugar amounts have to be modified accordingly)
    🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
    To make that delicious classic French style Lemon tart you will need the following ingredients:
    1 pre-cooked tart shell made with around 200 grams of
    homemade sweet shortcrust pastry.
    For the Lemon custard cream filling:
    300 ml of fresh lemon juice ( it has freshly squeezed juice)
    150 grams of caster sugar ( to mix with the lemon juice)
    100 ml of water ( optional)
    3 whole eggs
    3 eggs yolks
    50 grams of caster sugar ( to mix with the eggs)
    25 grams of corn flour.
    a few drops of vanilla essence
    200 ml of heavy whipping cream
    70 gram of butter
    Utensils I used:
    Silicon Mat:
    amzn.to/2rvyRcX
    Ceramic Pie weight:
    amzn.to/2KTs3xP
    Tarte Pan:
    amzn.to/2jNbXcJ
    Important note: The quality of the ingredients in this recipe is paramount. The eggs, butter, cream and Lemon juice have to be fresh of the best quality.
    The lemon juice has to be freshly squeeze or your tart will not taste as it should.
    This version of the Lemon tart is a very Lemony version ( it will have a sharp lemon taste). However you can tone that down by replacing 100 ml of Lemon juice by water. ( so 200 ml of Freshly squeezed lemon juice mixed with 100 ml of water)

    nicely done... great tips for handling soft,fragile pastry. One little trick I've learned.. when pressing the pastry to the walls and floor of your baking tin, do it with a ball of the excess dough, rather than directly with your fingers. It spreads the pressure perfectly.

    for blind baking, i use coins. it works much better than baking beans or some people who use rice etc. the coins are metal and it is heavy so it also bakes the surface without having to remove the weights and putting it back into the oven for a second time.

    I have to say I have never baked a lemon tart before but always wanted to. I have also been a little scared of baking my own short crust pastry... two days ago I made this lemon tart from beginning to end and it turned out wonderfully!!!
    Thank you for all of your tips through the demonstrations they were very helpful.
    The only issue I had were my lemons were very tart lemons and maybe I should have used less lemon juice and topped up with water to meet 300ml of liquid to reduce the strength of the lemon flavour a little.
    Next time I will be sure remember this and hunt for sweeter lemons. This being said there were no slices left over for the next day with many people going back for seconds.
    Served with berries and a small dollop of whipped cream delicious!
    Thank you 😊

    If you work with your dough super cold and bang it with a pin like with pie dough it's much easier to transport. It's definitely an arm workout though. Also, rolling it between parchment or baking paper works well to prevent sticking so you don't add flour which can make it brittle.

    Hi Stephan (Hope I wrote your name correctly 😅)
    I've been following your channel for years, and I've learned much from you. Thank you greatly 🙏🏼
    I'm not a dessert kind of person, but I've used this recipe twice already. First time I did the lemon tart, second time I made it with blueberries. Both times it was incredible result. Today I'm making it again but exchanging lemon juice with pineapple juice and cream with coconut cream, I'm aiming for a Pina Colada flavour. So I have a question, if I want the colour to be more creamlike, can i exchange the 3 extra egg yolks with egg whites?
