1. How do you make a lemon tart from scratch?

To make a lemon tart from scratch, you prepare a buttery shortcrust pastry, bake it until golden, then fill it with a smooth lemon mixture made from fresh lemon juice, eggs, sugar, and cream. It’s baked until just set for a silky texture.

2. Why is my lemon tart not setting properly?

A lemon tart may not set if it’s underbaked or if the filling ratio is off. Make sure to bake it until the center is slightly firm and allow it to cool completely, as it continues to set while chilling.

3. How do you store lemon tart, and how long does it last?

Lemon tart should be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3–4 days. For best results, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
