Zubereitung von Lemon Crme Brulee Tart
- **Make the Crust:** In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Pulse for 10 seconds.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- With the food processor running, gradually add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, pulsing until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 12-inch circle.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim and crimp the edges.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
- Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another minute, until lightly golden.
- Brush the inside of the partially baked crust with 1 egg white.
- **Make the Filling:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup heavy cream, 4 large egg yolks, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
- Stir in ¼ cup lemon juice and 2 tablespoons lemon zest.
- Pour the lemon filling into the warm, pre-baked tart shell.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the tart cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Crème Brûlée Topping:** Once cooled, cover the edges of the tart crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of granulated sugar evenly over the top of the tart.
- Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a rich, golden-brown crust.
- Let the caramelized sugar cool and crisp completely before serving.
- Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries and crème fraîche.
