Comments: For a chocolate-fix variation, a suggestion is to purchase filled three-inch chocolate tartlet shells with the lemon curd. Or brush melted sweet chocolate over the graham cracker crust before filling. Begin this recipe one day ahead. |
Ingredients: ![]() For the crust: 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter 1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar 7 whole graham crackers, finely crushed For the lemon cream filling: 1/2 cup whole milk 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel 2 large eggs Topping: 1 1/4 cups chilled whipping cream |
Instructions: The Crust: Melt 6 tablespoons butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in brown sugar. Whisk until mixture bubbles thickly, about 2 minutes. Mix in cracker crumbs; stir 1 minute. Using back of fork, press warm crumb mixture over bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Cool crust completely. The Filling: Pour milk into small custard cup. Sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 15 minutes. Whisk 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon peel in heavy medium saucepan to blend well. Whisk in eggs, then remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Whisk over medium heat until custard thickens and just begins to boil, about 5 minutes; remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture; whisk until gelatin dissolves. Let stand until beginning to set, about 10 minutes. Pour warm filling into crust. Chill until filling is firm, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day. The Topping: Beat cream and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in medium bowl until peaks form. Pipe or spoon cream over tart. Serve immediately or chill up to 4 hours. Makes 6 to 8 servings. |
