Bake the Crust:

Temperature: 180°C (350°F)
Time: 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Bake the Tart with Filling:

Temperature: 160°C (325°F)
Time: 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Cool and serve

Cooling: Once the tart is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the tart pan on a wire rack. Cooling will help the filling to set completely and makes it easier to slice.
Chill (Optional): For a firmer texture and enhanced flavor, you can refrigerate the tart for 1-2 hours before serving.

Serve suggestions

Carefully remove the tart from the pan. Slice the tart with a sharp knife, wiping the knife between cuts for clean slices.
You can garnish with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries for a beautiful presentation.

Inspiration

While browsing YouTube, I stumbled upon a video of someone buying a Jellycat lemon tart toy. I was immediately captivated by the adorable lemon tart and began searching for this charming plush toy in local stores in Melbourne. However, after checking several stores, I couldn't find it. I felt a bit disappointed, but I was also inspired to make a real, edible lemon tart to make up for my disappointment.
