Classic Lemon Tart (Thermomix)

Make sure you invest in a flan tin with a removable base - you won't regret it. Lemons are aplenty at certain times of the year, so call this your Easy-May-through-August-Lemon-Tart. It is a firm favourite in our household. - by Chantal Walsh

Make sure you invest in a flan tin with a removable base - you won't regret it. Lemons are aplenty at certain times of the year, so call this your Easy-May-through-August-Lemon-Tart. It is a firm favourite in our household.

Ingredients

200 g golden caster sugar

finely grated zest and juice of 4 lemons (make sure you have at least 150g juice)

4 eggs

2 egg yolks, extra

300 g pure cream

Icing sugar, mixed berries, and mascarpone, to serve (optional)

Vanilla bean pastry

250 g golden caster sugar

¼ vanilla bean

100 g cold unsalted butter, cubed

190 g plain flour

Ice cold water, as needed

Method

  1. For the vanilla bean pastry, place sugar and vanilla bean into Thermomix bowl and mill 10 sec/speed 10. Add butter and flour and mix 10 sec/speed 6 until resembles breadcrumbs. Add water through hole in lid while you continue to mix 10 sec/Interval speed. As soon as the dough starts to form a ball, stop and remove pastry from bowl onto lightly floured baking mat or board. Shape into a flat disc and wrap well with baking paper. Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat oven to 200ºC. Roll out pastry and use to line a 23cm flan tin with removable base. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork, then line with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or uncooked rice. Blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove paper and weights, and cook for a further 5 minutes or until golden on the base. Cool slightly and reduce oven temperature to 160ºC.
  3. Place sugar and zest into the Thermomix mixing bowl and mill 15-20 sec/speed 9. Scrape down and repeat. Add juice, eggs, extra yolks and cream, and blend 20 sec/speed 6. Pour filling into pastry base and bake for 40-45 minutes or until just set in centre.
  4. Dust with icing sugar, top with plenty of sliced or whole fresh or frozen berries and serve with mascarpone, if desired.
