\u201cWhen life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your darn lemons, what the heck am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!\u201d \u00a0\u2013 J.K. Simmons<\/p>\n

Tarte au Citron, French Lemon Tart<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Or you could just make Tarte au Citron \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I go back and forth between what I love more \u2013 chocolate or lemon desserts. I think my “students” at\u00a0Pie Ranch<\/a>\u00a0during our French cooking class were equally torn between the two. Sometimes it’s nice to have both!\u00a0Pourquoi pas<\/em>? We made strawberry, lemon, and chocolate tarts plus an extra strawberry-rhubarb lattice pie for fun. And we drank a lot of wine in the process (that’s my kind of cooking class). We thoroughly reveled in turning lemons into lemon pie!<\/p>\n

Most people shy away from making tarts or pies that have a custard filling because they assume it’s going to be a lot of work. This one is very easy \u2013 there is no extra cooking over the stove top.<\/p>\n

Notice how we are eating multiple types of tarts here! Fun!<\/p>\n

Tarte au Citron, Tarte au Fraises, and Tarte au Chocolat at Pie Ranch<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche adds a little extra tang which I love and it makes the filling creamier than a traditional buttery lemon curd. I thinly slice a lemon and place on top of filling for extra decoration. Using a mandoline works best for this. Don’t worry if they sink to the bottom they will float to the top while cooking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
