Naomi Judd’s Creamy Lemon Tart Recipe is the Best Lemon Tart | cakes

On page 184 of her cookbook, Naomi’s Home Companion, Naomi Judd shares her mom’s lemon pie recipe, which she calls “The Best Lemon Pie.” She writes, “This is another one of my mom’s best. To top it all off — a pun intended — just add mommy’s foolproof meringue from the Chocolate Meringue Pie (page 152).”

The lemon tart recipe is very easy to make. The homemade lemon curd is smooth, creamy and full of lemon flavour. We topped the cake with homemade whipped cream. Delicious!

A

An encore presentation will air at 10 p.m. ET. ABCs Good morning America co-host Robin Roberts will lead the ceremony.

ingredients

lemon filling

• 3 large egg yolks
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 7 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups hot water
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (I used 3 large lemons)
• 2 tablespoons butter

This is how you make it:

1. To make the filling, in a heatproof bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks to break them up. Put aside.

2. In a medium heavy saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the hot water until smooth. Bring to a boil over high heat while stirring. When the mixture begins to thicken, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, over a very gentle simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.

3. Stir a few spoonfuls of the yolks. Stir the yolk mixture into the sugar mixture in the pan.

4. Cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened and bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes.

5. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the butter and lemon juice. (I used a sieve to catch the seeds.)
