The start of today's kitchen adventure.
The tart shells, made with finely ground raw almonds, will be filled with home made lemon curd, topped with raspberry (from garden) glaze and, if I have the energy, merengue (gotta do something with the 4 egg whites :) ) sugar substitutes used - stevia in the dough and monk fruit in the curd
I should have used straight almond flour but far too expensive.
@NorthernInvader could I do this with pastry shells pre made? I want to try. 🥰
@redsheri1 For sure - here's the lemon curd recipe https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/how-to-make-lemon-curd/
and you could easily make your own Pâte Sucrée shells https://www.recipetineats.com/sweet-tart-crust-french-pastry-pate-sucree/#wprm-recipe-container-61208
I just wanted to try it with almond shells
@NorthernInvader thanks for this so do you put raspberries or something on top of lemon? Did I read something about berries. Want to try this for Easter. 🥰👩🦰
@redsheri1
1. blind bake the tart shells
2. fill 3/4 with lemon curd
3. cook raspberries to extract juice, puree them, screen out seeds, add a little cornstarch to some of the raspberry juice then mix in and heat until it thickens. Pour this on top of lemon curd, top with meringue if desired
@NorthernInvader fantastic going to try this thanks so much fir recipe sounds yummy. 🥰
