Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
¼ cup of powdered sugar
½ cup of cold butter (cut into cubes)
1 large egg yolk
2–4 tablespoons of ice water
2 cups of whole milk
½ cup of honey
¼ cup of granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
½ cup of fresh lemon juice
1 cup of granulated sugar
4 large eggs
½ cup of unsalted butter
Zest of 1 lemon
Fresh strawberries (sliced)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in the egg yolk. While running the processor, add the ice water a tablespoon at a time just until the dough starts to clump together.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thick. Fit it into a tart pan, trimming any excess.
Poke the crust with a fork and bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool.
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, honey, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed and warm.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the egg mixture.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens.
Pour the honey custard into the cooled tart shell and spread it evenly. Chill in the fridge.
To make the lemon curd, whisk together the lemon juice, sugar, and eggs in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and lemon zest until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.
Spread the lemon curd evenly over the honey custard layer. Top with fresh strawberries.
Chill the completed tarts in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours or until ready to serve.
