Lemon Crème Brulee Tart Recipe from Christopher Mangless, The Traveling Chef. This is such a great sweet dessert. Plus, you get to use a torch. How cool is that? Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 pinch salt |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled cut into 1/2 cubes |
4 -5 teaspoons heavy cream |
1 egg white, beaten |
3/4 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons sugar (additional) |
3/4 cup heavy cream |
4 egg yolks |
2 whole eggs |
1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed |
1 tablespoon lemon zest |
Directions:
1. Crust Method:.
2. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in processor, blend for 10 seconds. Pulse in butter until combined. Pulse while adding the heavy cream 1 teaspoon at a time, until moist dough clumps form. Remove dough from processor and form into a flatten disk. Wrap and chill for 1 hour.
