Lemon Tart (Tarte au Citron)
This is a classic French lemon tart recipe (Tarte au Citron) that is surprisingly easy to make and incredibly delicious. Finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, this beautiful lemon tart is elegant in its simplicity, and even more impressive when served with a raspberry coulis. This tart recipe uses our easy Shortcrust Pastry recipe, which is then filled with a very tart lemon custard filling. You know this is an authentic French lemon tart when you get that pucker on your first bite!
Cherry Marzipan Galette
This delightful Cherry Marzipan Galette is a simple, yet elegant dessert. What’s not to love about pairing almonds and cherries in a rustic tart?! We combined sweet and tart cherries along with marzipan, to give this lovely little galette a beautiful balance of flavors. The result, when baked in a buttery homemade crust, is a warm and luscious bite of cherries with just a hint of marzipan. Top with vanilla bean ice cream or homemade whipped cream, to complete this heavenly dessert.
