This lovely lemon tart is the perfect addition to any  meal.Lemon Tart

Lemon season is in full swing at our house and with Easter just a few days away I’ve been trying out a couple of new lemon dessert ideas for Easter Brunch.  Now, Easter is not Easter at our house without Lemon Angel Pie.  It is required and has been for the last 30 years.  But I’m thinking a second lemon dessert may be needed this year and today’s Lemon Tart is it!Lemon Tart

Now you  may think two lemon desserts are a little overkill but not at our house.  The more lemon the better.  I have a few non lemon lovers in the family but they are no longer living at home so we don’t have to worry about them!

Lemon Tart

This lemon tart has a delicious shortbread cookie like crust.  The lemon filling is just the right amount of lemon, not too tart and not too sweet.  It’s just right!  Of course, you must use fresh lemon juice.  My favorite kitchen tool makes the job of juicing lemons so much easier. I made my tart in a 9″ removable bottom tart pan.

Lemon Tart

I just gave it a sprinkle of powdered sugar and I love serving it with some fresh, ripe strawberries.  The lemon/strawberry combo is pretty much perfection.
