Ingredients
Caputo Gluten-Free Tart Dough
½ Cup Powdered Sugar
¼ Teaspoon Salt
1 Egg
8 Tablespoons (1 Stick) Butter, cold, diced
¼ Cup + 2 Tablespoons Ice Cold Water

3 Large Eggs
4 Large Eggs Yolks
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
¾ Cup Lemon Juice
2 Teaspoons Lemon zest
2 Tablespoons Butter, cubed
1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream
Instructions
Gluten-Free Tart Crust
- In a food processor, pulse all crust ingredients until combined. Start with ¼ cup ice water, and add remaining 2 tablespoons if necessary, 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.
- Remove the dough from the food processor, wrap it in plastic wrap, and flatten it into a disc. Refrigerate for 30–40 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the fridge. Between two pieces of parchment paper dusted with Caputo Gluten Free Flour, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick.
- Flip the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, or individual 4-inch tart pans, greased with butter and place it in the fridge for another 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Using a fork, prick the bottom of the tart crust and bake for 8–10 minutes. Allow it to cool while preparing the filling.
Lemon Tart Filling
- In a saucepan, mix the egg, sugar, lemon juice, and zest until well combined.
- Place the pot over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 8–10 minutes, until a pudding-like consistency forms. Once the mixture thickens, turn off the heat and stir in the butter and heavy cream until fully incorporated. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium-sized bowl.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake for about 8–10 minutes, until the filling is set.
- Allow the tart to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to fully set.
Top and Serve!
- When ready to serve, whip 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla together using a hand or stand mixer. Once the whipped cream forms stiff peaks, turn off the mixer, spread it over the set lemon tart, and decorate the tarts to your liking.
- Optional: Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
