Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup macadamia nuts
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 7 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups lemon curd
For the Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup vanilla sugar or granulated sugar, if desired
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse brown sugar, nuts and granulated sugar until finely crushed. Add flour and salt and pulse to combine. Add butter, one tablespoon at a time. Should form a sticky dough.
- Press dough into bottom of a 9-inch tart pan (or use a springform pan). Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely.
- When cooled, fill tart with lemon curd.
- For the whipped cream, beat heavy cream with vanilla sugar on high for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form. Pipe onto tart. ENJOY.
Notes
- Lemon curd- use store bought or make homemade lemon curd using my delicoius recipe!
- Vanilla Sugar- You can use powdered sugar if desired, or use my homemade vanilla sugar recipe!
- Tart pan or spring form pan. A tart pan might be the traditional choice but a regular spring form cake pan works too! Line the bottom of the pan with the crust dough, gently pressing it a little up the sides.
- Storing. Keep lemon tart refrigerated until ready to serve. If not enjoying right away, wait to add the whipped cream to the tart until just before serving.
- Use cold butter. Place your butter in the freezer for 5 - 10 minutes before adding to the crust. Super cold butter helps create a flaky tart crust texture.
