Equipment

  • 1 Food processor
  • 1 Tart Dish

Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 180 g Cake flour
  • 55 g Icing sugar
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 115 g Cold butter, cubed
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ Vanilla extract

For the filling

  • 125 g Raspberries
  • 100 g White sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 125 ml Lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Lemon zest
  • 90 g Cold butter, cubed
  • 2 tsp Rose water
  • Fresh raspberries, to decorate

Instructions
 

  • To make the crust, place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Blend for a few seconds, then add the butter and blend until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and continue pulsing until the mixture starts to come together. Do not overmix.
  • Turn out the pastry dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Flatten slightly to form a disc, cover in cling wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 5 mm, then place in a greased 22 cm tart dish, trimming off any excess. Cover in cling wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 190°C and place a rack in the centre of the oven. Prick the pastry dough using a fork, line with parchment paper, add baking beans and blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and bake for a further 15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool completely.
  • To make the filling, blend the raspberries in a blender, then strain through a sieve to remove the seeds.
  • Whisk the raspberry purée with the sugar, eggs, lemon juice and lemon zest in a saucepan. Place over a low heat and stir using a wooden spoon for 1 minute.
  • Add the butter while stirring until well combined. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
  • Strain the filling through a sieve, add the rose water and stir. Place a sheet of cling wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 190°C. Fill the baked tart crust with the filling and smooth the top. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven, cool to room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Decorate with fresh raspberries to serve.
