For a taste of summer in winter, it has to be this tart al limone. Citrus and dessert, a match made in Italy. Begin this recipe 4 hours ahead. You will need a kitchen thermometer.
Ingredients:
- Finely grated zest & juice of 4 lemons (about 1 cup – 250ml of juice)
- 1 cup (220g) caster sugar
- 3/4 cup (185ml) pure (thin) cream
- 4 eggs, plus 3 egg yolks

- PASTRY
- 1 2/3 cups (250g) plain flour
- 70g pure icing sugar, sifted
- 125g unsalted butter, chilled, chopped
- 2 egg yolks
Method:
1. For the pastry, place flour, icing sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add butter and rub into flour with your fingertips to form a fine crumb. Add yolks and 2 tbs iced water, knead gently on a lightly floured surface and flatten into a disc. Enclose in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours. Roll out pastry between 2 sheets of floured baking paper to 3mm thick. Use pastry to line the base and side of a 22cm loose-based fluted tart pan, trimming excess. Chill for 20 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 180°C. Place baking paper and baking weights over chilled pastry, then place on a baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes or until pastry is light golden, then remove weights and paper and bake for a further 15 minutes or until golden and dry. Set aside to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 140°C.
3. Combine lemon zest, juice, sugar, cream, eggs and yolks in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Using a wooden spoon, stir constantly for 6-8 minutes until the mixture reaches 70°C on a kitchen thermometer or coats the back of the spoon like a thin custard. Strain through a fine sieve, discarding solids, and cool to room temperature.
