A cake shop I frequent often has a lemon tart with a crème brûlée-like surface. To achieve that, you'd need a flame touch but since I dont have it, I came up with this simplified version.

I wanted to add a dollop of cream into the tarts, so I rolled out the tart dough to 2 mm thick. Because the crust is thinner and delicate, you may want to brush on a beaten egg to harden the custard. Recipe by nyonta

Steps

1

Roll out your tart crust dough to 2 mm thick. Press into the tart pans and bake. (Bake with baking weights at 170ﾟC for 15 minutes, take out the weights, and bake for another 5 minutes.)
2

When baked, brush the bottoms of the inside of the crusts with a beaten egg. Bake for another 3 minutes.
3

Heat the lemon juice, sugar, and butter in a pot until the butter and sugar dissolves. Put the gelatin in ice water.
4

In a bowl, beat the egg with a whisk. Mix in the mixture from Step 3 a little at a time. Once it is all mixed together, return the mixture to the pot.
5

Turn the heat to medium-low and mix well with a spatula. When the mixture has thickened, turn off the heat. Add the gelatin.
6

Strain the lemon curd into a bowl.
7

Place the bowl in ice water. Mix with a spatula until it cools completely.
8

Once cooled, pour into the tart crusts and chill in the refrigerator.

I topped with chopped pistachio.

It's stuffed full of lemon curd.
