INGREDIENTS:

SERVES 8-10
  • 250g/9oz/1¼ cups caster (superfine) sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • Grated rind of 2 lemons
  • 175ml/6fl oz/¾ cup lemon juice
  • 175ml/6fl oz/¾ cup whipping cream
  • Chocolate curls, for decorating
FOR THE CRUST
  • 190g/6½oz/1⅔ cups plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 30ml/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 25g/1oz/¼ cup icing (confectioners') sugar
  • 2.5ml/½ tsp salt
  • 115g/4oz/½ cup butter or margarine
  • 15ml/1 tablespoon water.

STEPS:

  1. Grease a 25cm/10in tart tin (pan).
  2. For the crust, sift the flour, cocoa powder, icing sugar and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Melt the butter and water over a low heat. Pour over the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough is smooth and the flour has absorbed all the liquid.
  4. Press the dough evenly over the base and side of the prepared tart tin. Chill the pastry case (pie shell) while preparing the filling.
  5. Preheat a baking sheet in a 190°C/375°F/Gas 5 oven.
  6. Whisk the sugar and eggs until the sugar is dissolved. Add the lemon rind and juice, and mix well. Add the cream. Taste the mixture and add more lemon juice or sugar if needed. It should taste tart but also sweet.
  7. Pour the filling into the tart shell and bake on the hot sheet until the filling is set, 20-25 minutes. Cool on a rack. When cool, decorate with the chocolate curls.
