Lemon and Blueberry Tart


Do you remember the Dulce de Leche tart I showed you few weeks ago? So this is the same style, a no-bake tart. Made with condensed milk and whipped cream, with no eggs and a strong taste of lemon which makes it absolulty refreshing and delicious. A very quick tart that has a lot of taste varieties. I like to put some berries, you can mix it with the filling, I rather to top with blueberries the tart just before serving.



INGREDIENTS makes a 23 cm tin
200 g cookies (such as maria or digestives)
75 g unsalted butter
397 g condensed milk (a full can)
250 ml whipped cream
4 lemons
4 gelatin sheets
blueberries for topping (or filling)

Crush the cookies and mix them with the melted butter, cover the tart tin pressing with the back of the spoon. Refrigerate it for 20 minutes.
In the meanwhile make the filling. Put the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes. Mix the condensed milk with the zest of the lemons and the juice of two of them. Drain the gelatin and put into a pan with a little part of the mixture, watch out do not everheat. Once the geatin is completly disolved remove from heating and let it cool completly before mix it back with the rest of the mixture.
In a separate bowl beat the cream with an electric whisk until it forms peaks. Add the cream to the mixture and stir with and spatula gently until well combined.
Fill the tin with this mixture, if you prefer you can add some blueberries in the filling now.
Refrigerate at least for 4 hours or better overnight.
Top with blueberries before serving.




You can keep it in the frige up to 3 days. Use a large knife dipped in boiled water to cut the tart.
