Ingredients
GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST
- 1½ cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1room temperature
LEMON TART
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup lemon juice
- 4 eggs yolks large
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 lemon seeded and sliced very thin
Instructions
FOR THE CRUST
- Preheat the oven to 375F
- In a large bowl add the graham cracker crumbs and sugar and stir to combine. Add the maple syrup and the 5 tablespoons of melted butter and stir to thoroughly combine.
- Grease generously a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with a tablespoon of room-temperature butter. Pour the dough into the skillet and lightly press it into shape. Line with aluminum foil and fill with pastry weights or uncooked rice. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Allow cooling on a wire rack before filling.
FOR THE LEMON TART
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the condensed milk, lemon juice, egg yolks, and vanilla.
- Working with the crust in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, pour the filling into the crust. Top with very thin slices of lemon. Arrange them as you wish.
- Put the skillet in the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the liquid has set into a soft custard.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Substitutions
- Graham crackers can be substituted with crispy cookies, ice cream cones, pretzels, cereal, and even coconut macaroons.
- You can also replace the lemon juice with lime juice to make Lime Tart. Better yet, Key limes and you will never be the same.
- Storage instructions
- You can leave it at room temperature if it is not too hot in your room. Place in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap when completely cooled off.
