Meyer Lemon Tart – Sweet and floral, this custard like tart will leave everyone wanting more.
Meyer lemon season is slowly coming to an end but not before we make this Meyer lemon tart. It’s creamy, think custard, with a sweet and floral taste from the Meyer lemons, used both in the custard and as a topping.
I’ve been dreaming of making this tart for so long. At first I wanted to make it in the winter using clementines, but I’m glad I put the recipe aside till Meyer lemons were at their peak.
Image a buttery crust, filled with creamy lemony custard and topped with sugared lemon slices. When I say lemony custard I’m not kidding. The filling has both lemon zest and fresh squeezed lemon juice. A lemon lover’s dream come true!!

You know what’s my favorite thing about a lemon tart? It’s too easy to be so delicious.
This tart looks heavenly, Roxanna!
Roxana: What a beauty!!! I love Meyer lemons…Every single time that my tree produces Meyer lemons I make something delish. I’ll have to try your tart next time.
This looks too beautiful to eat!
Love, love, love, Meyer Lemons! This tart is the perfect way to eat them up! Gorgeous!
Caramelized lemon slices? My mouth is watering, gorgeous!

Love this very springy lemon tart. The kind of dessert I truly enjoy. So nice for your guest post, Roxy!
Drop. Dead. Gorgeous! Roxana, you have outdone yourself! I cannot believe how beautiful this citrus tart is. You nailed it, girlfriend. And, such an easy recipe to boot! Love. What a delight to have found your guest post at Sommer’s blog! xo
That tart is simply stunning.
I love Meyer lemons but they are not always easy to find here. I was tempted to buy a tree but I don’t exactly have a green thumb. I will definitely be on the lookout for some because this tart looks amazing.
Love this, Rox. Already pinned it from Sommer’s site!
Super dangerous tart. It would be sold in less then 5 minutes in our pastry shop here! My stomach is grumbling by just looking at your photos Roxanna.
That is gorgeous looking! And I love that board you have it one…did you make it or buy it?
Hi Jocelyn,
It’s an old wooden crate, I got it from an antique store.
I’ve used it before here http://roxanashomebaking.com/buttery-garlic-crescents-recipe/ and as a background here http://roxanashomebaking.com/the-best-dinner-rolls-from-scratch-recipe/ and here http://roxanashomebaking.com/gingerbread-roll-cake-recipe-25recipestoxmas/
