I love tarts in general, they are so delicious, I love their crunchy-creamy texture.
This tart is one of my favourites, I love it both in the cold season and in the summer when it’s very hot.
The lemon is special because it gives it a special flavour, but it is also very fresh.
This lemon tart consists of four layers with different textures.
At the base we have a perfect almond tart top, followed by the second layer with frangipane, followed by a delicious lemon cream and on top a white chocolate glaze with lemon that harmonizes this tart perfectly.
