1 Yields a 10''x1''/25.5x2.5cm pizza pan (Shop Page).

Crust
2 Cream butter with salt, sugar, almond meal, and vanilla. Add the egg and flour; mix until just
combined. Wrap up and chill to harden. Use a quarter of the dough (Refrigerate leftover for
a week, or freeze for weeks). Soften up onto your floured countertop, and roll out into a thin
0.8''/2mm thick disk; an inch/2.5cm larger than the pan. Refrigerate if pastry becomes too
soft. Prick with a fork and freeze.

Baking
3 Place a baking mat and baking tray on top of the pastry sheet. Bake at 350ºF/180ºC for 20
minutes. Remove weights, and cut pre-baked dough into 12 slices. Finish baking for 15
minutes more, or until golden brown. Cool, and keep flat.

Creme Anglaise / Lemon Ice Cream


4 For the lemon ice cream making process, look up at Lemon Ice Cream Recipe. Line bottom
pan with a disk cut out from a freezer bag; place in the freezer. Squeeze out Meyer lemons,
sieve juice and chill. Soak gelatin in cold water to soften, and drain. In a saucepan, warm up
together milk and heavy cream, corn syrup, and sugar. When it reaches 113ºF/45ºC, add
milk powder and egg yolks; mix using an immersion blender. Cook to 185ºF/85ºC stirring
constantly. Do not boil. Remove custard from the heat, mix in gelatin along with the lemon
juice, and limoncello. Add zest if desired, and refrigerate lemon custard overnight to
maturate. Process in your ice cream maker according to manufacture instructions. Transfer
ice cream in the frozen pan lined with a round sheet cut out from a freezer bag. Smooth out
surface using an offset spatula. Freeze for 6 hours, best overnight. To unmold ice cream:
run a paring knife around the edges, warm up bottom quickly, top with plastic wrap, or
another freezer bag disk, a plater and flip. Fix up imperfections and freeze again. Cut out
into 12 portions – keep frozen.

Lemon Basil Marmalade

5 *Poached lemons are optional (Look up at Poached Lemon Recipe). They can eventually be
subbed for diced strawberries, or zest from a couple of lemons. Combine sugar and agar
agar; set aside. Heat up lemon juice and water, and whisk in the sugar-agar mixture. Bring
to a boil and cool on ice water and chill to set. Add limoncello, and blend. Fold into the
mixture the diced poached lemons, lime, and basil; chill.

Italian Meringue
6 In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, start to beat on medium-speed room
temperature egg whites with lemon juice. Keep meringue to foamy stage prior adding hot
syrup. Cook sugar, water and vanilla bean seeds (Vanilla can also be added to the
meringue) to 250ºF/121ºC. Beat until it cools down. Fill up a pastry bag fitted a Saint
Honoré tip and place in the freezer until ready to use.

Montage

7 Prior pipping Italian meringue, remove one ice cream slice from the 12 to create some
space in between. Add a dot of meringue, and top with crust. Once done, flip over on a flat
plater, and freeze for 30 min. Pipe each slice following the edges leaving a free space in the
center for the marmalade. Freeze the finished lemon ice cream tart (Without the lemon
basil marmalade) for up to 4 weeks.

Plating

8 The D.Day, blow-torch the surface of the meringue quickly and freeze again a couple of
hours. Right before serving, fill the center of each slice with a generous tablespoon/35g of
lemon basil marmalade. Serve immediately – Enjoy!
