Ingredients

For crust:

For filling:

  • 4-1/2 ounces sliced Meyer lemons seeds removed
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

For crust:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9-inch non-stick removable bottom tart pan with non-stick spray.
  • In the bowl of your electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the flour and salt and beat until the dough just comes together.
  • When making this crust the dough will first look very crumbly but just keep mixing until you see it come together in the bowl. This takes around 3 minutes.
  • Press crust into the bottom of your greased pan and bake for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool while you make the filling.

For filling:

  • In a bowl of a food processor add lemon slices, sugar, and butter.
  • Process together until completely smooth. Scraping down the sides when needed.
  • Add in eggs, cornstarch, and kosher salt and process until combined and smooth.
  • Carefully pour the lemon mixture into the crust. Be careful to not fill the crust over the top or it will not remove correctly.
  • Add tart to a baking sheet and bake for about 35 minutes until the filling is set and the center of the tart is just slightly jiggly. The top should also be a light golden color.
  • Let the tart completely cool before popping it out of the tart mold.
  • Serve room temperature lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar.
