How to Make Orange Lemon And Cardamom Cardamon Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, and ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted; ½ cup (120ml) fresh orange juice; ¼ cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice; zest of 1 orange; and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom. Stir over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and comes to a gentle simmer. Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Line a 25cm loose-bottomed tart tin with your prepared pastry (see blind baking instructions below).
  6. Pour the cooled filling into the pre-baked pastry shell.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is just set – it should still have a slight jiggle in the center. Do not overbake!
  8. Let the tart cool completely on a wire rack before topping with candied citrus peel (optional) or sifted powdered sugar.
  9. Serve at room temperature with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
  10. **Blind Baking Instructions:** Line the pastry shell with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the weights and paper and bake for a further 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
