Lemon Berry Almond Tart
This Lemon Berry Almond Tart will absolutely disappear from sight as soon as you set it down on the table. It is wickedly refreshing on a hot summer day. The tart yet sweet lemon whipped cream topped with sweet summer berries and on a nutty almond crust is TO DIE FOR!
This is one of the very first desserts I ever made up and it is still one of my proudest. Every time I make it I just cannot get over how DAMN good it is. Now summer is here and you need to make this, I promise it will not disappoint.
For this dessert you will need a tart pan. To get the dessert out of the pan you need to have a tart pan with a removable bottom. This pan is one I have used and love. Even though it is non stick I would still give it a good spray with non stick spray before putting my crust in.
It’s very easy to make. Just mix together the crust ingredients until they resemble sand, but hold together when pressed. Like this.
Then press it into the tart pan. I like to start with the sides and then do the bottom.
Once the tart crust has cooled. Make that heavy whipping cream into whipped cream and gently fold in the lemon curd. My absolute favorite lemon curd you can buy is pictured here and I get it at Whole Foods. Or you can use my affiliate link at the bottom of the recipe.
Then just spread it into the crust. Top it with your favorite berries, and possibly some sprigs of mint if you have any laying around and allow it to chill for a bit in the fridge or freezer. Then pop it out of the pan and serve!
