Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup Meyer lemon juice about 4-5 lemons
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and lemon zest.
  3. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly.
  4. Stir in the egg yolk and cold water until the dough comes together.
  5. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
  6. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
  7. In a blender or food processor, combine the Meyer lemon juice, granulated sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Blend until smooth.
  8. Pour the mixture into the cooled tart crust.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  11. To serve, arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the tart and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • You can replace Meyer lemons with regular lemons for a more tart flavor.
  • Consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an indulgent treat.
