6 large egg yolks
Juice of 3 lemons
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 pinch salt
100g cold butter in small pieces
15 pre-made mini tart shells, 5cm in diameter
100g store-bought whipped cream
6 large egg yolks
Juice of 3 lemons
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 pinch salt
100g cold butter in small pieces
15 pre-made mini tart shells, 5cm in diameter
100g store-bought whipped cream
In a large saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, grated peel, powdered sugar, and salt
Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, for 8-10 minutes or until thickened slightly
Remove from heat and add the cold butter, one piece at a time, whisking well after each addition to form a creamy mixture
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl
Cover with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface of the cream to prevent formation of skin and refrigerate for 1 hour (keeps up to 2 days in the refrigerator, tightly covered)
Fill each tart shell with 2 tablespoons of the lemon cream and decorate with whipped cream and tomato leaves.
