Evoo Lemon Tart

Evoo Lemon Tart review Page 141 "For Foods Sake"
 
I made this tart yesterday to take to a birthday lunch party for my DSis. The one thing that I had to change was the fruity evoo. I just couldn’t find any. I considered adding fruit juice to my usual evoo but decided against it and so I substituted with butter. Although there are a couple of delays whilst the pastry cools, the speed of the filling makes up for the waiting times.  I found that my filling held its shape when slicing but was still quite soft. What I liked most about this tart was the high tangy lemon flavour. I heard lots of comments around the table about this and what a refreshing dessert it was. Our family are noted for having lots of desserts at a meal as the guests arrive with them and my tart was certainly the most popular. People were begging the slicers to serve smaller portions so that there would be enough for them. It was also noted that the last piece was squirreled away in the fridge for my sister to secretly enjoy later. I will certainly be making this again.

Looks lovely Dot . .  thanks for the review.  I've put a note in the book to try this one on your recommendation . .

Thanks for that Dot. It is MIL birthday on SAturday and we are giving her a lunch with the family. I was going to do a lemon meringue pie but I think I'll do this one. Hopefully it will all get eaten and she won't try to squirrel any away in her pockets.

I think it gives 10 modest portions. including the squirrel

That should be perfect, thanks Dot.

Dot did you serve this with anything or by itself? I'm not sure what to serve it with.
Does anyone have any thoughts please? Initially I was going to make a boozy strawberry sauce, but I'm not sure that would go.

[jakodai]

I think just some whipped cream would be nice. That's all I'm going to do with mine when I make it.

[Decadent Dot]

It was served with whipped fresh vanillered cream (slightly sweetened) Most guests chose to eat it on it's own. I don't think another fruit sauce would be the right thing. It would detract from the lemony tartness. Vanilla ice cream would work though.

  Thanks Dot, much appreciated.

I've just made this and I'm thrilled. I don't like lemon things usually but this is yummy.

I am so impressed with the way I can use the ipad to take a photo and put it straight on here using tapatalk. The tart was still warm.
I found some lemon flavoured EVOO and used that. I think it has just been released by Cobram Estate.
