Ingredients

Shortbread Crust

  • ½ cup (100g) Unsalted Butter, softened
  • ¼ cup (50g) Caster Sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) Semolina Flour
  • ¾ cup (100g) All-Purpose Flour

Whipped Lemon Cream

  • 1 cup (240mL) Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 4 Tablespoons (36g) Powdered Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 jar (10oz) Lemon Curd divided

Instructions

  • For the Shortbread Crust
  • Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
  • To make the shortbread, soften the unsalted butter in a bowl. Add the sugar, semolina flour and all-purpose flour and mix together until a smooth dough begins to form. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough. Evenly line the 9" tart tin with the crust and generously prick the dough with a fork.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is a light golden brown. Briefly cool before adding 6 Tbsp (120g) of lemon curd on the cooled shortbread crust.
  • For the Whipped Lemon Cream
  • In a stand mixer with the whip attachment*, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 1/2 C (160g) of the lemon curd to the whipped cream and continue mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Add the whipped lemon curd to the shortbread crust and smooth the edges. Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours, until the filling has set.

Notes

*If you don't have a stand mixer, use a balloon whisk and mix by hand. Bon Appetit has a way to make whipped cream in a mason jar that we've not tested but found intriguing.
