Lemon Tart on an Almond Cookie Crust

This tart is well loved and quickly becomes famous everywhere I take it. It is a refreshing way to enjoy a sweet dessert without the refined sugar.

For the Crust:

1 cup organic spelt or whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp. non-aluminum baking powder
Pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup organic hi-oleic safflower oil
1/4 cup organic amasake
1/2 tsp. organic almond extract

* Preheat the oven to 350°F.
* Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
* In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
* Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined, forming a dough. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan.
* Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

For the Filling:

2 cups organic apple juice
Pinch of sea salt
1 Tbsp. agar-agar flakes
1 Tbsp. organic kuzu, dissolved in 2 Tbsp. spring or filtered water
1/4 cup fresh organic lemon juice, or more to taste
1/2 tsp. fresh organic lemon zest
Fresh organic mint leaves for garnish
Fresh organic berries for garnish

* Place the juice in a saucepan and add the salt. Sprinkle the agar-agar flakes on top and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
* Slowly bring to a boil, stirring frequently once warmed. Boil, stirring frequently, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the agar-agar flakes have dissolved.
* Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add the dissolved kuzu, stirring constantly to prevent lumping.
* Raise the heat to medium and stir until thick and clear. Remove from the heat. Add the lemon juice and zest, stirring well. Let cool slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes.
* Pour into the prepared crust. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to set.
* Garnish with the mint leaves and the berries.

Makes 8 to 10 servings

Variations
• Serve with tofu cream and fresh raspberries.
• Use key lime juice and agave syrup sweetener, to taste, in place of the lemon for a key lime tart.

i duno what half the ingredients were in the lemon tart recepie

must be healthy huh?

[paulwalkersgirl]

Yeah! Maybe too healthy, bella!! LOL!!

Here's a similar one!! But with eggs involved in it!!

Tangy lemon tart

ingredients
5 eggs
4 egg yolks, extra
375g sugar
300ml cream
250ml lemon juice
Sweet pastry
250g plain flour
pinch of salt
100g sugar
150g cold unsalted butter, chopped
1 egg yolk
1 lemon, juiced
Raspberry Coulis
125ml (½ cup) water
110g (½ cup) sugar
300g frozen raspberries
juice of 1 lemon


method
Beat the eggs, yolks and sugar lightly together. Add the lemon juice and stir well. Add the cream and mix well with a whisk. Refrigerate filling until needed.

Sweet pastry: put the flour, salt, sugar and butter into a food processor and blend until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Beat the yolk and lemon juice together and add to the mixture in the processor. When combined, remove from the processor form into a ball, enclose in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out the pastry and line a 26cm loose-bottomed flan tin. Refrigerate again for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180C and bake the pastry blind (ie unfilled, with baking paper held down with dried beans or rice) for 15-20 minutes.
Turn the heat down to 150C. Pour the lemon filling into the pastry case and cook 35-45 minutes or until the mixture is set.

Raspberry Coulis: Dissolve the sugar in the water over a low heat. Add the raspberries and lemon juice. Cook until the berries are thawed. Push through a sieve to remove seeds.

Sprinkle the tart with icing sugar when cool and serve with fresh berries and raspberry coulis.
