We are back it after a crazy month. Sorry we have been MIA. Between starting a new job and the entire family having the flu, and then that flu cycling into a cold. I think its safe to say we have caught every cold that was going around, all at once. We missed posting and now that things have calmed down (hopefully) we are ready to get back to sharing our recipes with you! We are bringing you a fresh Spring dessert. When we think of Spring desserts lemon is the first thing to come to mind. With Easter just around the corner what better recipe to share than a dessert recipe for your Easter brunch or Easter supper!
We enjoy spending Easter time with family as we gather together to remember the resurrection of our Savior. During our Easter gathering we have our traditional Easter brunch, where we will be making our Lemon Cream Tart with Homemade Whipped Cream & Blueberries. Lemon desserts are a family favorite, as well as homemade whipped cream. So its only natural that we covered both in this Lemon Cream Tart.
We hope you enjoy our Lemon Cream Tart as much as we enjoyed it.
1/2 cup butter softened (1 stick) Tart Crust Preheat oven at 375º F Grease a 14" X 5.7" tart pan (make sure to use a tart pan with a removable base.) Set aside.
