Lemon Lime Souffle Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400*F.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks with 1/3 cup sugar, the lemon zest and the flour until thick and pale yellow.
• Transfer to a double boiler and add the lemon juice.
• Whisk over medium heat until thick and set.
• Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter.
• Cover and set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the salt and cream of tartar until they form soft peaks.
• Add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and beat until firm peaks form.
• By hand, whisk one third of the egg whites into the yolk mixture.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold in the remaining whites.
• Mound the mixture in the tart shell and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the pan 180 degrees after 9 minutes.
• Let cool before serving.

Steps:

• Lemon Curd (makes 2 cups, only use 1 1/2 cups).
• In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar.
• Whisk in the lemon zest, juice, and salt.
• Place the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water, and gently cook the curd, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs, until curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes (or you can cook over direct heat if you are sufficiently skilled).
• Remove the bowl from the heat, and whisk in the butter.
• Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, and set the bowl in a large bowl filled with water and ice.
• Whisk until cool.
• Cover the curd, and refrigerate until it is thoroughly cold, at least 2 hours.
• The curd will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
• Almond Crust.
• To make the crust: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar until combined, about 1 minute.
• Beat in the egg and zest.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
• Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in two batches, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions.
• Mix until dough is smooth.
• Scrape dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, and form it into a disk.
• Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• Make the tart.
• Preheat the oven to 325°.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a 14-inch round about 1/8 inch thick.
• Fit the dough into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Trim away any excess dough, and use a fork to prick the crust all over.
• Bake the tart crust until pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• (The tart shell can be made 8 hours ahead.) Increase oven temperature to 375°.
• To prepare the filling: In the detached bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together 5 tablespoons sugar, egg yolks, flour, lemon juice, and lime juice.
• Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, and whisk the mixture constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
• Continue whisking until mixture gets quite thick, about 8 minutes.
• Strain through a fine sieve into the bowl of an electric mixer, if necessary.
• Using the whisk attachment, beat the lemon cream on high speed until thick, cool, and light, about 5 minutes.
• In a clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks.
• Slowly add the remaining 5 tablespoons of sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overbeat the whites.
• Fold a third of the meringue into the lemon cream to lighten it, then fold in the remaining meringue in two batches.
• Spread the lemon curd in an even layer into the bottom of the crust.
• Spoon the soufflé topping onto the lemon curd, mounding it attractively.
• Bake the tart until the soufflé is golden brown and spongy, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Dust the top with confectioners' sugar, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 4 (6-ounce) ramekins with butter flavored cooking spray. Lightly coat inside of ramekins with sugar; set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together lime curd and vanilla pudding. Set aside.
• Place egg whites in a medium bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat egg whites to stiff, but not dry, peaks.
• Stir 1/4 of egg whites into bowl with lime mixture. Spoon mixture over bowl with egg whites and gently fold together until just combined.
• Divide among ramekins. Place on baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until risen and golden brown.
• Serve immediately garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar and half of a sugared lime slice.

Steps:

• Crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, sugar, and salt on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in egg yolk until smooth. Reduce speed to medium-low and beat in flour until smooth. Shape dough into a flat disk, tightly wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 45 minutes and up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Let chilled dough rest at room temperature to warm slightly, about 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to an approximate 11-inch round (if dough cracks, press back together and let stand a few minutes to warm and soften more). Transfer to a 9-by-1-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom, pressing into edges and trimming excess dough. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, line dough with parchment, and fill with dried beans or pie weights.
• Bake until dough is set and dry on the bottom, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove parchment and weights and continue baking until golden on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, lemon zest and juice, and salt until smooth. Add butter to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Cover surface of curd with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until cool and set, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
• In a mixer bowl, whisk egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Increase speed to high and gradually add remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, beating until mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir 1/3 of egg-white mixture into curd to loosen. Gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture just until no streaks remain (do not overmix). Transfer filling to tart shell, gently smoothing top.
• Bake until puffed and golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes. Carefully remove tart ring and dust with confectioners' sugar to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter six 12-ounce souffle dishes, and then dust with granulated sugar. Whisk together yolks, flour, zest, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
• Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Slowly pour milk into yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent yolks from cooking. Return mixture to pan, and whisk until thick like a pudding, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain through a sieve, and whisk in butter and lemon juice.
• Beat whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form. Stir a third of the whites into the yolk mixture. Gently fold in the remaining whites using a rubber spatula.
• Fill each souffle dish to the top, and smooth. Run your thumb around edges to remove batter from rims.
• Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until souffles rise and are golden, about 16 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately, before souffles lose their height.

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar and salt. Add butter and pulse briefly until well combined. Add egg and pulse just until dough comes together. Dough will be rather soft. Wrap with waxed paper or plastic wrap, and press to make a 1-inch-thick disk. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or it will be too soft to handle. (Make the dough up to 2 days in advance, if desired.)
• Remove dough from the refrigerator and let soften at room temperature until pliable and soft, about 15 minutes. Using your fingertips, press dough into a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom, making sure it is pressed evenly across the bottom and up the sides, about 1/8-inch thick. Press the dough against the sides to the very top. Pinch off any excess and smooth the edge. You'll have slightly too much dough - save any left over to patch cracks after blind baking. Chill the tart dough in the pan until ready to bake. (You can also freeze it at this point, if you like, for up to a week.)
• When ready to blind bake, heat oven to 350 degrees. Place the dough-lined tart pan on a baking sheet, and bake to a pale golden brown, about 30 minutes. (Pie weights shouldn't be necessary, but check the dough during baking, to make sure sides are not slumping. If so, press the sides back up with a wooden spoon.) For even browning, turn the tray halfway through the baking. Remove from oven, and cool to room temperature.
• Make the filling: Put lemon and lime zest, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar and butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter is melted and mixture is hot, 4 to 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and yolks.
• Whisk the hot mixture gradually into the eggs to temper them. Then pour everything back into the saucepan and return to heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens to a milkshake consistency, about 5 minutes. (Do not overcook, or it will curdle.) Pour through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. Mixture will continue to thicken as it cools. (At this point, you can continue with the recipe, or cover the filling and refrigerate for up to 2 days.)
• Spoon the lemon curd into the baked tart shell. Using a spatula, spread the curd evenly into the shell. Bake in a 350-degree oven until filling is set (not jiggly), about 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature. (This can be done several hours before serving.) Just before serving, top tart with lime zest and dust edges with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Steps:

• Butter six 3/4-cup ramekins; dust with sugar. Melt 1/2 cup butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add sugar and stir until mixture is opaque, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and lemon peel. Whisk in yolks. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture thickens and thermometer registers 180°F, whisking constantly, about 12 minutes (do not boil). Transfer mixture to large bowl and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in another large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/4 of beaten egg whites into lemon mixture to lighten. Fold remaining beaten egg whites into lemon mixture.
• Divide souffl° mixture among prepared ramekins. Place filled ramekins in large roasting pan. Fill pan with enough hot water to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake souffl°s until golden brown on top, about 14 minutes. Using tongs as aid, remove souffl°s from water and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat egg yolk until slightly thickened. Gradually add sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in the milk, butter, flour and salt. Stir in lemon juice and zest., In a small bowl, beat egg white until stiff peaks form. With a spatula, stir a fourth of the egg white into lemon mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining egg white until combined. , Divide between 2 ungreased 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups. Place in an 8-in. square baking dish; add 1 in. of hot water to dish. , Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until tops are golden brown. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and garnish with pansies and mint. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Sprinkle gelatin over the cold water.
• In a heavy saucepan combine yolks, lemon or lime juice, and sugar.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 160 degrees.
• As soon as the mixture reaches 160 degrees, remove from heat and stir into gelatin to dissolve it. Turn into bowl and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly, about one hour.
• Whisk yolk mixture into meringue mixture. Add rind.
• Beat cream until stiff, and fold into lemon-meringue mixture.
• Pour into individual ramekins, or stemmed glasses, or a 9-inch crumb crust or baked pie shell, and chill one hour or longer.

Steps:

• For crust:
• Combine flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter. Using on/off turns, cut in butter until coarse meal forms. Add yolks and process until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball. Divide into 6 equal portions. Press 1 dough portion over bottom and up sides of 4 1/4- to 4 1/2-inch-diameter tartlet pan with 3/4-inch-high sides and removable bottom. Repeat with remaining dough, forming 6 tartlets total. Place on rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic, and chill 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake crusts until golden, pressing with back of fork if crusts bubble, about 20 minutes. Cool.
• For filling:
• Whisk eggs, yolks, 3/4 cup sugar, and lemon peel in medium metal bowl. Place bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water; whisk until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon and lime juices. Whisk until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; add butter in 3 additions, whisking until smooth. Strain lemon curd through fine sieve into medium bowl. Press plastic directly onto surface of curd. Chill until cold, at least 5 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place 1 1/4 cups lemon curd in large bowl; reserve. Divide remaining curd among tartlet crusts, spreading evenly over bottoms.
• Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until frothy. Add salt and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 6 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Fold half of egg whites into reserved lemon curd. Gently fold in remaining whites. Divide egg-white mixture among tartlets, sealing to crust edges and mounding in center. Bake until filling is golden brown and set, about 13 minutes. Let tartlets stand at room temperature 5 minutes. Push pan bottoms up, releasing tartlets. Transfer tartlets to plates. Dust tartlets with powdered sugar and serve warm or let stand up to 30 minutes.
