Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 oranges Fresh orange slices
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 80 ml Lemon juice
• 150 ml Heavy cream
• 50 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter into the bowl and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add cold water a tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together.

Step 4

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan.

Step 6

Press the dough into the tart pan, trimming the edges as needed. Prick the base of the dough with a fork to prevent it from puffing during baking.

Step 7

Line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the shell to cool completely.

Step 8

In a medium saucepan, whisk the egg yolks, powdered sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.

Step 9

Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency. This will take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the lemon cream from heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let it cool slightly, then pour it into the cooled tart shell and spread evenly.

Step 11

Arrange the fresh orange slices on top of the lemon cream in an overlapping circular pattern for a decorative finish.

Step 12

Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to allow the lemon cream to set.

Step 13

Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
