Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

How to Make Lemon Tart with Fresh Berries

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow it to cool while you prepare the filling.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until well combined.
6. Pour the lemon filling into the cooled tart crust and return it to the oven. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
8. Before serving, top the tart with fresh raspberries and garnish with mint leaves.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• Use fresh lemons for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may alter the taste.
• Let the tart cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar based on your sweetness preference.

Easy Variations

• For a berry medley, mix in blueberries or blackberries with the raspberries.
• Add a layer of whipped cream on top before garnishing for extra creaminess.
• Substitute lime juice for lemon juice for a different citrus twist.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, like vanilla or almond, in the filling for added depth.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of freshly whipped cream or crème fraîche
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• A cup of herbal tea or a light sparkling beverage
• Additional fresh berries on the side
