Preparing Lemon Tart with Tennis Biscuits
Making this delectable treat is a straightforward process that consists of creating a biscuit crust, whipping up a creamy lemon filling, and letting it chill until set. Here’s how it breaks down:
- You start by making the crust from crushed Tennis Biscuits mixed with melted butter. A short stint in the fridge to firm it up sets the stage for the luscious filling.
- Next, combine sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and zest. This mixture brings a bright flavor that complements the buttery crust.
- Finally, whip heavy cream until it’s fluffy and fold it gently into your lemon mixture. A bit of freezing later, and you have a show-stopping dessert ready to dazzle.
