No Fuss Lemon Tart

A refreshing and simple lemon tart that beautifully balances sweet and tangy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 full-size graham cracker sheets (about 1 cup once crushed into crumbs)
  • 1 cup salted pretzel twists
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons + 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest + 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Crush the graham crackers and pretzels in a food processor until they turn into semi-fine crumbs.
  3. Add the melted butter and 2 tablespoons of honey to the crumbs. Pulse until it holds together like dough.

  5. Bake the crust for 8 minutes or until toasted.
  6. In a large pot, combine heavy cream, 1/3 cup honey, and lemon zest over high heat until boiling. Boil for 5 minutes and then remove from heat.
  7. Whisk in lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
  8. Pour the lemon cream mixture into the baked crust.
  9. Cover the tart and chill in the fridge for 1 hour or until set.
