Ingredients
- 3 whole Lemons (zested and juiced)
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 4 pieces Shortbread biscuits (for crumble topping)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the lemons: Zest and juice all 3 lemons. Set aside both the zest and juice for the lemon curd base.
Step 2
2. Make the lemon curd: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until combined.
Step 3
3. Cook the mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir constantly with a silicone spatula to prevent curdling. The mixture will begin to thicken after about 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
4. Add the butter: Once the curd thickens and coats the back of the spatula, remove from heat and stir in the unsalted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy. Let cool to room temperature.
Step 5
5. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled lemon curd to lighten it, reserving the rest for garnish.
Step 6
6. Assemble the crumble topping: Crush the shortbread biscuits into a coarse crumble using your hands or a rolling pin. Set aside.
Step 7
7. Plate the dessert: Spoon the liquid lemon tart mixture (lemon curd and cream) into serving glasses or bowls. Sprinkle the shortbread crumble on top for texture.
Step 8
8. Garnish and serve: Add a dollop of the reserved whipped cream on top of each serving, dust with powdered sugar, and decorate with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
