EGGLESS LEMON TART

Eggless Lemon Tart Recipe @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com

The intense lemon flavor and delicate texture of this Eggless  Lemon Tart make it a perfect ending for any meal. Made from scratch, the crust contains less fat than a regular recipe.

Since I really wanted something easy to make that was sweet and bursting with tangy  lemon flavors, I settled on this Eggless  Lemon Tart. It is also an egg free recipe for the filling as well as  for the pastry.

I tried it, my family tried it. We all agreed that it came out pretty darn tasty. It had zing. The only thing that it did not have was a lot of colors for that I have used one or two drops of yellow food coloring in the filling.

So this is my low fat and  Eggless Lemon Tart recipe. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Hi, I really would like to try your eggless lemon tarts. But may I know what kind of cream do you normally use for the filling? Sour cream it double cream?

Treat and Trick said...

Hi Vanessa,
I used Nestle cream but any other pouring cream should work too. Can't wait to see how yours turns out...

Unknown said...

Amazing recipe...just one question ..what should be the thickness of the dough once it has been rolled??

Unknown said...

Just one question.... What should be the thickness of the tart once we roll it flat?

Treat and Trick said...

Hi Sakshi,

It should be 1/8 or 1/4 in thick. Hope this helps...

Unknown said...

Hi my query was regarding the cream , is it fresh cream?

Unknown said...

Hi, I have a query regarding the cream, is it fresh cream?

Unknown said...

Also is the filling supposed to be liquidity or should it solidify to a soft texture?

Treat and Trick said...

Hi Radha,

I used Nestle cream but any other pouring cream should work too. The filling is in liquid form. It will set after baking...

Indah Nuria Savitri said...

I would definitely try it. Always love the crust and this eggless lemon filling looks divine. I chose this post to be featured in #OMHGWW and cheers,

Caroline Camie said...

This tart.....I'm simply lost for words. I wonder, could the lemon filling also he used as a lemon curd? To spread on toast, bread, croissants etc. It's so creamy and smooth and divine! Thank you 🙂

Vintage Style Gal said...

YUM! My husband loved lemon, and I must admit I have slowly crossed over the line myself. I prefer sweet as you have shared than savory lemon, but I am just betting these tarts would be delicious. You keep adding to my "try" pile Nora, I just hope I can make it through it one day. ;) Have a wonderful weekend!
